From 051c7b39be4a91f6b7d8c4548444e4b850f1f56c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jia-Ju Bai Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2019 16:24:33 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: sched: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in dequeue_func() In dequeue_func(), there is an if statement on line 74 to check whether skb is NULL: if (skb) When skb is NULL, it is used on line 77: prefetch(&skb->end); Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur. To fix this bug, skb->end is used when skb is not NULL. This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
