Subject: [PATCH] net: qualcomm: rmnet: check for null ep to avoid null pointer dereference
Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2018 23:51:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180323235157.8129-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
The call to rmnet_get_endpoint can potentially return NULL so check
for this to avoid any subsequent null pointer dereferences on a NULL
ep.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1465385 ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: 23790ef12082 ("net: qualcomm: rmnet: Allow to configure flags for existing devices")
