Re: [PATCH] cmtp: fix argument error

[michenyuan]

Thank you for your suggestion.

This bug may not cause serious security problem. Function 'bt_sock_unregister' takes its parameter as an index and nulls the corresponding element of 'bt_proto' which is an array of pointers. When 'bt_proto' dereferences each element, it would check whether the element is empty or not. Therefore, the problem of null pointer deference does not occur.

This bug is observed by manually code review.

Thanks for your patch. Some things you may want to consider:

* I think it would be good to describe what the effect of this problem is,
  if it can be observed. And if not, say so. I think it would
  also be useful to state how the problem was found. F.e. using a tool, or
  by inspection.

* As this is described as a fix, it should probably have a fixes tag.
  I think it would be:

Code change looks good.
