From bf98b4e3166c28343429119135644ba70c6e5277 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:26:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] namehint: Fix invalid list access in snd_device_name_hint() snd_device_name_hint() tries to free the allocated list at the error path via snd_device_name_free_hint(). But snd_device_name_free_hint() expects a list terminated by NULL while snd_device_name_hint() doesn't add it. Adding it may again result in an error and thus isn't guaranteed to work. Hence we can't add NULL at the error path. Instead, now the code always allocates one entry more, and zero-clears the newly allocated beforehand to guarantee the NULL termination.
