Subject: [CCISS]: Fix use-after-free in cciss_init_one
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 05:28:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <442223FC.8090809@trash.net> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2072 bytes --]

free_hba() sets hba[i] to NULL, the dereference afterwards results in
this crash. Setting busy_initializing to 0 actually looks unnecessary,
but I'm not entirely sure, which is why I left it in.
