Fix a potential NULL pointer dereference in the vmbackup plugin.
|
|
|
afff29 |
|
|
|
afff29 |
In some circumtances, VmBackupAsyncCallback might dereference
|
|
|
afff29 |
gBackupState after calling VmBackupDoAbort even though the
|
|
|
afff29 |
latter function can potentially set gBackupState to NULL. Add
|
|
|
afff29 |
a check to prevent the potential NULL pointer dereference.
