Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mtip32xx: fix potential crash on SEC_ERASE_UNIT
Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2012 06:03:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <509A5C29.1060803@micron.com> (raw)


The mtip driver lifted this code from elsewhere and then added a special
handling check for SEC_ERASE_UNIT. If the caller tries to do a security
erase but passes no output data for the command then outbuf is not
allocated and the driver duly explodes.
