[PATCH][next] rtw89: Fix potential dereference of the null pointer sta

From: Colin King <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-15 15:45:35
Also in: kernel-janitors, linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: realtek wireless driver (rtw89), the rest · Maintainers: Ping-Ke Shih, Linus Torvalds

From: Colin Ian King <redacted>

The pointer rtwsta is dereferencing pointer sta before sta is
being null checked, so there is a potential null pointer deference
issue that may occur. Fix this by only assigning rtwsta after sta
has been null checked. Add in a null pointer check on rtwsta before
dereferencing it too.

Fixes: e3ec7017f6a2 ("rtw89: add Realtek 802.11ax driver")
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
