Subject: [PATCH 0/2] staging: rtl8723bs: remove unreachable code in
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 18:01:22 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601150253.69930-1-nikolayof23@gmail.com> (raw)
This series removes an unreachable switch-case branch in the
update_beacon() function. This branch doesn't check the value of the
'oui' pointer, which could lead to a NULL dereference.
Found with cppcheck:
core/rtw_ap.c:1404:27: error: Null pointer dereference: oui [ctunullpointer]
if (!memcmp(RTW_WPA_OUI, oui, 4))
^
core/rtw_ap.c:235:19: note: Calling function update_beacon, 3rd argument is null
update_beacon(padapter, WLAN_EID_TIM, NULL, true);
^
core/rtw_ap.c:1472:3: note: Calling function update_bcn_vendor_spec_ie, 2nd argument is null
update_bcn_vendor_spec_ie(padapter, oui);
^
core/rtw_ap.c:1404:27: note: Dereferencing argument oui that is null
if (!memcmp(RTW_WPA_OUI, oui, 4))
^
