Subject: HID: hidraw, fix a NULL pointer dereference in hidraw_write
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e42dee9a99a3ecd32b5c027e8f7411fb5bc11eb6;p=linux-beck.git

HID: hidraw, fix a NULL pointer dereference in hidraw_write

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
IP: [<ffffffffa0f0a625>] hidraw_write+0x3b/0x116 [hid]
[...]

This is reproducible by disconnecting the device while userspace writes
to dev node in a loop and doesn't check return values in order to exit
the loop.
