Subject: [PATCH] crypto: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in skcipher_alloc_sgl()
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2013 10:31:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5285877D.7020004@oracle.com> (raw)
From: Jie Liu <jeff.liu@oracle.com>
In skcipher_alloc_sgl(), there is a potential null pointer dereference
issue to retrieve the last item from ctx->tsgl list if the list is empty.
This patch fix it by checking if the list is empty or not at first.
