Subject: [PATCH] nfc: nci: fix potential NULL pointer dereference
Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2017 17:02:23 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170612220223.GA6326@embeddedgus> (raw)
NULL check at line 76: if (conn_info) {, implies that pointer conn_info
might be NULL, but this pointer is being previously dereferenced,
which might cause a NULL pointer dereference.
Add NULL check before dereferencing pointer conn_info in order to
avoid a potential NULL pointer dereference.
