From 5ba2f67afb02c5302b2898949ed6fc3b3d37dcf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 21:16:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] security: avoid calling a NULL function pointer in drivers/video/tvaudio.c NULL function pointers are very bad security wise. This one got caught by kerneloops.org quite a few times, so it's happening in the field.... Fix is simple, check the function pointer for NULL, like 6 other places in the same function are already doing.
