From ec14121931a24f8d3678b8a9c408adee3b21d465 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2017 18:34:18 +0100 Subject: staging: rtl8723bs: avoid null pointer dereference on pmlmepriv There is a check to see if pmlmepriv is null before vfree'ing pmlmepriv->free_bss_buf hence implying pmlmepriv could potenially be null. However, a previous call to rtw_free_mlme_priv_ie_data can also dereference pmlmepriv, so move this call so that it is only called if pmlmepriv non-null.
