Subject: [PATCH] affs: possible null pointer dereference in affs_rename()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ac8141366932a74fd8620afaebd66960c91196d;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[PATCH] affs: possible null pointer dereference in affs_rename()

If affs_bread() fails, the exit path calls mark_buffer_dirty_inode() with a
NULL argument.

Coverity CID: 312.
