Subject: [PATCH] bluetooth: Fix missing NULL check
Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 14:11:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101022131035.5432.73129.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

From: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>

Fortunately this is only exploitable on very unusual hardware.

[Reported a while ago but nothing happened so just fixing it]
