[PATCH] orinoco: possible null pointer dereference in orinoco_rx_monitor()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the skb allocation fails, the current error path calls
dev_kfree_skb_irq() with a NULL argument. Also, 'err' is not being used.

Coverity CID: 275.
