Subject: [PATCH v1 net] net: usb: rtl8150: Fix uninit-value access in set_carrier().
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 23:31:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250827233108.3768855-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
syzbot reported set_carrier() accesses an uninitialised local var. [0]
get_registers() is a wrapper of usb_control_msg_recv(), which copies
data to the passed buffer only when it returns 0.
Let's check the retval before accessing tmp in set_carrier().
