Subject: [PATCH] Check the value of doi before referencing it
Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 09:59:40 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1305692980-4730-1-git-send-email-huzaifas@redhat.com> (raw)
Value of doi is not checked before referencing it.
Though this does not cause any null pointer dereference since
all the callers of cipso_v4_doi_add check the value of doi
before calling the function, but it would be a good programming
practice to do so anyways :)
