From 2c1cf00eeacb784781cf1c9896b8af001246d339 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2019 13:57:58 +0100 Subject: relay: check return of create_buf_file() properly 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 --- kernel/relay.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/relay.c b/kernel/relay.c index 04f248644e06..9e0f52375487 100644 --- a/kernel/relay.c +++ b/kernel/relay.c @@ -428,6 +428,8 @@ 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); @@ -461,7 +463,7 @@ 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; } -- cgit v1.2.3-58-ga151
