[PATCH 3/3] X25: Fix oops and refcnt problems from x25_dev_get

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]<

 



Calls to x25_dev_get check for dev = NULL which was not set.
It allowed x25 to set routes and ioctls on down interfaces.
This caused oopses and refcnt problems on device_unregister.
