paragraphRangeContainingCorrection is dereferenced before this.  If this is to avoid null pointer dereferencing in this function, I think this is in the wrong place.

But before this, it is initialized like so:
paragraphRangeContainingCorrection = range->cloneRange();

And range->cloneRange() cannot return null.

This is therefore the right place to null check.

As explained in the Changelog, the issue is only with TextIterator::rangeFromLocationAndLength() potentially returning null.
