CID 329157: Dereference before null check in lib/dns/journal.c
Coverity Scan identified a problem on main
and v9_16
after !4720 (merged) was merged:
*** CID 329157: Null pointer dereferences (REVERSE_INULL)
/lib/dns/journal.c: 754 in journal_open()
748 j->header.index_size * sizeof(journal_rawpos_t));
749 }
750 if (j->index != NULL) {
751 isc_mem_put(j->mctx, j->index,
752 j->header.index_size * sizeof(journal_pos_t));
753 }
CID 329157: Null pointer dereferences (REVERSE_INULL)
Null-checking "j->filename" suggests that it may be null, but it has already been dereferenced on all paths leading to the check.
754 if (j->filename != NULL) {
755 isc_mem_free(j->mctx, j->filename);
756 }
757 if (j->fp != NULL) {
758 (void)isc_stdio_close(j->fp);
759 }
