* [PATCH] video: fbdev: sm501fb: fix potential null pointer dereference on fbi @ 2017-11-10 17:32 ` Colin King 2017-11-17 16:03 ` Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: Colin King @ 2017-11-10 17:32 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Sudip Mukherjee, dri-devel, linux-fbdev Cc: kernel-janitors, linux-kernel From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> The pointer fbi is dereferenced with par = fbi->par before there is a null check on fbi, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference on a null par. Fix this by moving the dereference after the null pointer check.
