sessionTarget = jsch.getSession(backupUser, backupHost, backupPort); Here in this line, getSession() method can throw an Exception, and hence the variables sessionTarget and channelTarget will be null, and in the finally block, you are accessing those variables, which may cause null pointer exception. To avoid this, in the finally block check ...
Dangling Pointers: Pointers that used to point to valid memory but the memory has been deallocated. Incorrect Assumptions : Assuming a pointer will never be null without checking. Let's explore these scenarios with some examples.
