From ee280d134f2e05e0172369a53fbe202dbfc527fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 16:25:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: das08: fix possible NULL deref during detach `das08_detach()` is called by the comedi core to clean up if either `das08_attach()` or `das08_attach_pci()` returns an error. It sets `thisboard` to the return value of `comedi_board(dev)` and assumes it is non-null. This is a valid assumption if `das08_attach()` fails, but not if `das08_attach_pci()` fails, leading to a possible NULL pointer dereference. Check `thisboard` at the top of `das08_detach()` and return early if it is `NULL`. This is okay because the only other thing that could have been allocated is `dev->private` and that is freed by the comedi core, not by this function.
