[PATCH] lib/mpi: Fix poential NULL pointer dereference in mpi_fdiv_q

From: Zheng Wang
Date: Fri Feb 03 2023 - 03:43:14 EST


in lib/mpi, there is multiple function that not check the return
value of mpi_alloc. One case is mpi_fdiv_q, if tmp == NULL,
tmp->nlimbs in mpi_fdiv_qr will cause NULL pointer dereference.
As the code is too much, here I only fix one of them. Other
function like mpi_barrett_init mpi_copy mpi_alloc_like mpi_set
mpi_set_ui mpi_alloc_set_ui has the same problem.

Please let me know if there is a better way to fix the
problem.

Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger.
