Subject: [PATCH] pstore/ram: Avoid NULL deref in ftrace merging failure path
Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2018 16:43:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181204004345.GA48115@beast> (raw)
Given corruption in the ftrace records, it might be possible to allocate
tmp_prz without assigning prz to it, but still marking it as needing to
be freed, which would cause at least a NULL dereference.
smatch warnings:
fs/pstore/ram.c:340 ramoops_pstore_read() error: we previously assumed 'prz' could be null (see line 255)
