Subject: [PATCH v2 bluetooth-next 1/7] 6lowpan: fix udp nullpointer dereferencing
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 11:32:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1387276373-23882-2-git-send-email-alex.aring@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1387276373-23882-1-git-send-email-alex.aring@gmail.com>

Sometimes a nullpointer dereferencing occurs because of using a wrong
pointer arithmetic in udp_uncompression.

This patch changes "**(hc06_ptr + 3)" to the right one "*(*hc06_ptr +
3)". Dereferencing like "**(hc06_ptr + 3)" works in a random case only.
