[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/23/25. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/f0b892c99960cbc2069c60fcb9e23f206e2bd51e

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] pcapng: fix null dereference in close

[ upstream commit b24a6349ae1d56b947186c9545349fca1ca87614 ]

rte_pcapng_close() might dereference a null pointer; as example,
PVS-Studio gives its usage in test_pcapng.c: indeed, that call to
rte_pcapng_close() might receive a null pointer.

Link: https://pvs-studio.com/en/docs/warnings/v522/
Link: https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/blob/e5176f23ae8b31437c3e5eb875c81f95bf3a9942/app/test/test_pcapng.c#L438

Fixes: 8d23ce8f5ee9 ("pcapng: add new library for writing pcapng files")
