Subject: [PATCH] mac80211_hwsim: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in hwsim_dump_radio_nl()
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2019 16:23:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190729082332.28895-1-baijiaju1990@gmail.com> (raw)
In hwsim_dump_radio_nl(), when genlmsg_put() on line 3617 fails, hdr is
assigned to NULL. Then hdr is used on lines 3622 and 3623:
genl_dump_check_consistent(cb, hdr);
genlmsg_end(skb, hdr);
Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.
To fix these bugs, hdr is used here when it is not NULL.
This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
