From cf970c002d270c36202bd5b9c2804d3097a52da0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 07:07:45 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ping: prevent NULL pointer dereference on write to msg_name A plain read() on a socket does set msg->msg_name to NULL. So check for NULL pointer first. Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.
