From 445c8132727728dc297492a7d9fc074af3e94ba3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2021 13:46:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ipack: ipoctal: fix missing allocation-failure check Add the missing error handling when allocating the transmit buffer to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer in write() should the allocation ever fail.
