Subject: [PATCH] xdp_rxq_info_user: Fix null pointer dereference. Replace malloc/memset with calloc.
Date:   Fri, 12 Jun 2020 14:53:27 -0400
Message-Id: <20200612185328.4671-1-gaurav1086@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20200611150221.15665-1-gaurav1086@gmail.com>
References: <20200611150221.15665-1-gaurav1086@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Memset on the pointer right after malloc can cause a
null pointer deference if it failed to allocate memory.
A simple fix is to replace malloc/memset with a calloc()
