Subject: Unchecked Null pointers
Hi:
I would like to report a set of errors found in the source tree of
Linux version 3.0.52 using a static analysis tool for vulnerability
detection that I'm developing based on GCC.
I have performed the security analysis on the whole linux 3.0.52
distribution and my tool detected 18 errors related to the use of
unchecked potential null pointers.
Some of these errors are also present in recent kernel versions such
as version 3.6.4
Details on the detected errors are listed below.
I'm looking forward to getting your feedback on the reported errors.
Syrine Tlili, Ph.D
