The function rbusEvent_SubscribeRawData calls rbusEventSubscription_find() which can return NULL, but then unconditionally dereferences the returned pointer when calling rbusMessage_AddPrivateListener() and rbusMessage_AddListener(). This fix adds NULL checks before dereferencing subInternal->sub and subInternal->subscriptionId in both the if(myConn) and else branches. Coverity: FORWARD_NULL CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference

Issue Fixed
Coverity Defect: FORWARD_NULL
CWE: CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference)

Root Cause
The function
rbusEvent_SubscribeRawDatacallsrbusEventSubscription_find()which can return NULL, but then unconditionally dereferences the returned pointer when accessingsubInternal->subandsubInternal->subscriptionId.This occurs in two locations:
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
