Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: panasonic-laptop: set pcc after null device check to avoid null pointer dereference
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2016 17:26:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1459182372-14018-1-git-send-email-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
acpi_pcc_hotkey_remove sanity checks to see if device is null, however,
this check is performed after we have already passed device into a call
to acpi_driver_data. If device is null, then acpi_driver_data will produce
a null pointer dereference on device. The correct action is to sanity check
device, then assign pcc, then check if pcc is null.
