Issue Fixed
Coverity Defect: FORWARD_NULL
CWE: CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference)
Severity: HIGH
Function:
rbusEvent_SubscribeRawDataFile: src/rbus/rbus.c
Root Cause
The function

if(myConn)branch when callingrbusMessage_AddPrivateListener()elsebranch when callingrbusMessage_AddListener()Changes Made
Added NULL checks before dereferencing
subInternalin both branches:Location 1: if(myConn) branch
Location 2: else branch
