Subject: [PATCH] libkvm: null pointer dereference in kvm_destroy_phys_mem
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 00:58:27 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071214065827.GA12031@tapir> (raw)

The following patch eliminates the uninitialized mem pointer in 
kvm_destroy_phys_mem and uses instead the corresponding entry from the 
slots array in the conditional to fix :

  libkvm.c:580: warning: 'mem' is used uninitialized in this function
