From fae603121428ba83b7343c88e68a7144525ab3eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Richter Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:10:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] firewire: fix NULL pointer deref. and resource leak By supplying ioctl()s in the wrong order, a userspace client was able to trigger NULL pointer dereferences. Furthermore, by calling ioctl_create_iso_context more than once, new contexts could be created without ever freeing the previously created contexts. Thanks to Anders Blomdell for the report.
