Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: phy_led_triggers: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in phy_led_trigger_change_speed()
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2019 17:24:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190729092424.30928-1-baijiaju1990@gmail.com> (raw)

In phy_led_trigger_change_speed(), there is an if statement on line 48
to check whether phy->last_triggered is NULL: 
    if (!phy->last_triggered)

When phy->last_triggered is NULL, it is used on line 52:
    led_trigger_event(&phy->last_triggered->trigger, LED_OFF);

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, led_trigger_event(&phy->last_triggered->trigger,
LED_OFF) is called when phy->last_triggered is not NULL.

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
