Subject: [for-next][PATCH 02/12] user_events: Fix potential uninitialized pointer while parsing field
Date: Sat, 12 Mar 2022 18:25:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220312232550.246237276@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20220312232525.234705244@goodmis.org

From: Beau Belgrave <beaub@linux.microsoft.com>

Ensure name is initialized by default to NULL to prevent possible edge
cases that could lead to it being left uninitialized. Add an explicit
check for NULL name to ensure edge boundaries.
