Subject: [PATCH][next] rtw89: Fix potential dereference of the null pointer sta
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2021 16:45:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211015154530.34356-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The pointer rtwsta is dereferencing pointer sta before sta is
being null checked, so there is a potential null pointer deference
issue that may occur. Fix this by only assigning rtwsta after sta
has been null checked. Add in a null pointer check on rtwsta before
dereferencing it too.

Fixes: e3ec7017f6a2 ("rtw89: add Realtek 802.11ax driver")
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
