Subject: [PATCH] trace-cmd libs: Initialize msg to NULL tracecmd_msg_read_data()
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2022 16:48:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220729164850.460886bb@rorschach.local.home> (raw)

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If there are no parameters passed to the guest agent, then the loop
inside tracecmd_msg_read_data() will not iterate and the msg variable
will be accessed (freed) without being initailized causing a possible
SEGFAULT.
