From dedabbbcb5ed7c75664b4ca66a525c09fe6acf12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Matlack Date: Mon, 5 May 2014 21:02:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] staging: slicoss: fix use-after-free bug in slic_entry_remove This patch fixes a use-after-free bug that causes a null pointer dereference in slic_entry_halt. Since unregister_netdev() will ultimately call slic_entry_halt (the net_device ndo_stop() virtual function for this device), we should call it before freeing the memory used by slic_entry_halt.
