From 6508497cbdc70b92130fbca57402af6a94e05d20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 16:24:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] rsi: fix a dereference on adapter before it has been null checked The assignment of dev is dereferencing adapter before adapter has been null checked, potentially leading to a null pointer dereference. Fix this by simply moving the assignment of dev to a later point after the sanity null check of adapter.
