Subject: [PATCH] am: check return value of resolve_refdup before using hash
Date: Sat, 6 May 2017 19:13:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f0ca65bf-aaf9-2cd6-1deb-c55c9e7a8fa3@web.de> (raw)

If resolve_refdup() fails it returns NULL and possibly leaves its hash
output parameter untouched.  Make sure to use it only if the function
succeeded, in order to avoid accessing uninitialized memory.
