Subject: [PATCH] ensure NULL deref can't possibly happen in is_exported()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f867d2a2e5f3f0ce6356f452cc27b70d577de7c7;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] ensure NULL deref can't possibly happen in is_exported()

If CONFIG_KALLSYMS is defined and if it should happen that is_exported() is
given a NULL 'mod' and lookup_symbol(name, __start___ksymtab,
__stop___ksymtab) returns 0, then we'll end up dereferencing a NULL
pointer.
