From 65cc02a8e1d4449daedf3a84e9dfdda2e44a5d97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2018 22:53:50 +0000 Subject: batman-adv: don't pass a NULL hard_iface to batadv_hardif_put In the case where hard_iface is NULL, the error path may pass a null pointer to batadv_hardif_put causing a null pointer dereference error. Avoid this by only calling the function if hard_iface not null.
