From 9918f230969bdaf3df012b77abcbcd4cdb0ab221 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sesterhenn Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2006 23:26:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [RTNETLINK]: Possible dereference in net/core/rtnetlink.c another possible dereference spotted by coverity (#cid 1390). if the nlmsg_parse() call fails, we goto errout, where we call dev_put(), with dev still initialized to NULL.
