From 78302fd405769c9a9379e9adda119d533dce2eed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pan Bian Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2017 15:09:19 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: check return value of nlmsg_new Function nlmsg_new() will return a NULL pointer if there is no enough memory, and its return value should be checked before it is used. However, in function tipc_nl_node_get_monitor(), the validation of the return value of function nlmsg_new() is missed. This patch fixes the bug. Signed-off-by: Pan Bian Signed-off-by: David S.
