From d0116f6f7b306bc2d1bfc98d7c7c80fe5f468c20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2017 11:08:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] rtlwifi: kfree entry until after entry->bssid has been accessed The current code kfree's entry and then dereferences it by accessing entry->bssid. Avoid the dereference-after-free by moving the kfree after the access to entry->bssid.
