Subject: [PATCH] orinoco: possible null pointer dereference in orinoco_rx_monitor()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.17-rc5~21
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb6e093da23ace2724fdadd27738027468eb82b3;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-3.10.git

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

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.
