Subject: [PATCH]rionet: fix NULL pointer dereference in rionet_remove
Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 23:27:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1308410839.9175.11.camel@localhost> (raw)

Function rionet_remove initializes local variable 'ndev' to NULL
and do nothing changes before the call to unregister_netdev(ndev),
this could cause a NULL pointer dereference.
