From 8ae757d09c45102b347a1bc2867f54ffc1ab8fda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joern Engel Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 17:49:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] iscsi-target: avoid NULL pointer in iscsi_copy_param_list failure In iscsi_copy_param_list() a failed iscsi_param_list memory allocation currently invokes iscsi_release_param_list() to cleanup, and will promptly trigger a NULL pointer dereference. Instead, go ahead and return for the first iscsi_copy_param_list() failure case. Found by coverity.
