From b70edf0c263e3513996aa5229a8ec249c712951d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2019 13:57:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] relay: check return of create_buf_file() properly BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1837813 [ Upstream commit 2c1cf00eeacb784781cf1c9896b8af001246d339 ] If create_buf_file() returns an error, don't try to reference it later as a valid dentry pointer. This problem was exposed when debugfs started to return errors instead of just NULL for some calls when they do not succeed properly. Also, the check for WARN_ON(dentry) was just wrong :) Reported-by: Kees Cook Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+16c3a70e1e9b29346c43@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Reported-by: Tetsuo Handa Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: David Rientjes Fixes: ff9fb72bc077 ("debugfs: return error values, not NULL") Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa Signed-off-by: Khalid Elmously --- kernel/relay.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/relay.c b/kernel/relay.c index 1537158c67b3..61d37e6da22d 100644 --- a/kernel/relay.c +++ b/kernel/relay.c @@ -427,6 +427,8 @@ static struct dentry *relay_create_buf_file(struct rchan *chan, dentry = chan->cb->create_buf_file(tmpname, chan->parent, S_IRUSR, buf, &chan->is_global); + if (IS_ERR(dentry)) + dentry = NULL; kfree(tmpname); @@ -460,7 +462,7 @@ static struct rchan_buf *relay_open_buf(struct rchan *chan, unsigned int cpu) dentry = chan->cb->create_buf_file(NULL, NULL, S_IRUSR, buf, &chan->is_global); - if (WARN_ON(dentry)) + if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(dentry)) goto free_buf; } -- 2.39.5
