Subject: [PATCH v2] dyndbg: fix use before null check
Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2020 11:36:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201209183625.2432329-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com> (raw)
In commit a2d375eda771 ("dyndbg: refine export, rename to
dynamic_debug_exec_queries()"), a string is copied before checking it
isn't NULL. Fix this, report a usage/interface error, and return the
proper error code.
Fixes: a2d375eda771 ("dyndbg: refine export, rename to dynamic_debug_exec_queries()")
