Subject[PATCH][ISDN][resend] Guard against a potential NULL pointer dereference in old_capi_manufacturer()
Date
(first send: Monday 25 June 2007, resending due to no response)


In drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c::old_capi_manufacturer(), if the call
to get_capi_ctr_by_nr(ldef.contr); in line 823 returns NULL, then
we'll be dereferencing a NULL pointer in the very next line.

(Found by Coverity checker as bug #402)
