From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Colin King Subject: [PATCH][V2] mwifiex: fix null pointer deference when adapter is null Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 10:37:31 +0100 Message-ID: <20160916093731.23346-1-colin.king@canonical.com> To: Amitkumar Karwar , Nishant Sarmukadam , Kalle Valo , linux-wireless-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org, netdev-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org Return-path: Sender: linux-wireless-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org From: Colin Ian King If adapter is null the error exit path in mwifiex_shutdown_sw is to down the semaphore sem and print some debug via mwifiex_dbg. However, passing a NULL adapter to mwifiex_dbg causes a null pointer deference when accessing adapter->dev. This fix checks for a null adapter at the start of the function and to exit without the need to up the semaphore and we also skip the debug to avoid the null pointer dereference.
