From 733c15bd3a944b8eeaacdddf061759b6a83dd3f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2020 14:54:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] block/rnbd: fix a null pointer dereference on dev->blk_symlink_name Currently in the case where dev->blk_symlink_name fails to be allocates the error return path attempts to set an end-of-string character to the unallocated dev->blk_symlink_name causing a null pointer dereference error. Fix this by returning with an explicity ENOMEM error (which also is missing in the original code as was not initialized).
