Subject: [PATCH 9/32] [TIPC] Fix for NULL pointer dereference
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 15:59:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1150984785979-git-send-email-per.liden@ericsson.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0606221233570.15853@ulinpc219.uab.ericsson.se>

From: Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de>

This fixes a bug spotted by the coverity checker, bug id #366. If
(mod(seqno - prev) != 1) we set buf to NULL, dereference it in the for
case, and set it to whatever value happes to be at adress 0+next, if it
happens to be non-zero, we even stay in the loop. It seems that the author
intended to break there.
