Subject: [PATCH v2] kern: perform NULL check in unregister paths (command/extcmd)
Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2025 12:25:55 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250909065555.227847-1-ssrish@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Many modules call grub_unregister_{command(), extcmd()} from
GRUB_MOD_FINI() without checking for a failure in registration.
This could lead to a NULL pointer dereference in unregistration.
Perform explicit NULL check in both the unregister helpers.
