Subject: [Cluster-devel] [PATCH] tunegfs2: Add some malloc error checking
Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2011 10:49:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1312451398-3124-1-git-send-email-anprice@redhat.com> (raw)
Static analysis found a possible null pointer dereference due to a
missing check in read_super. The malloc'd memory was also not being
freed on error conditions. This patch adds a check for a null pointer
and frees the allocated memory.
