Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8712: uninitialized memory in read_bbreg_hdl()
Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2019 09:26:38 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190321062638.GA21489@kadam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190320085858.GF2202@kadam>

Colin King reported a bug in read_bbreg_hdl():

	memcpy(pcmd->rsp, (u8 *)&val, pcmd->rspsz);

The problem is that "val" is uninitialized.

This code is obviously not useful, but so far as I can tell
"pcmd->cmdcode" is never GEN_CMD_CODE(_Read_BBREG) so it's not harmful
either.  For now the easiest fix is to just call r8712_free_cmd_obj()
and return.

Fixes: 2865d42c78a9 ("staging: r8712u: Add the new driver to the mainline kernel")
