Subject: [2.6 patch] drivers/net/wireless/libertas/rx.c: fix use-after-free
Date: Sat, 19 May 2007 00:50:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <464DD957.9040803@redhat.com> (raw)

libertas_upload_rx_packet() calls netif_rx() before returning, and it always return 0.
Also within libertas_upload_rx_packet(), it will initialize skb->protocol anyways.

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
