Subject: [PATCH] staging: exfat: check for null return from call to FAT_getblk
Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2019 18:50:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190830175050.12706-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
A call to FAT_getblk is missing a null return check which can
lead to a null pointer dereference. Fix this by adding a null
check to match all the other FAT_getblk return sanity checks.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: c48c9f7ff32b ("staging: exfat: add exfat filesystem code to staging")
