commit: 3309ccf7fcebceef540ebe90c65d2f94d745a45b From: Stanislaw Gruszka <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2013 15:38:29 +0200 Subject: iwlwifi: fix freeing uninitialized pointer
If on iwl_dump_nic_event_log() error occurs before that function initialize buf, we process uninitiated pointer in iwl_dbgfs_log_event_read() and can hit "BUG at mm/slub.c:3409" Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=951241 Cc: [email protected] Reported-by: [email protected] Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Emmanuel Grumbach <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <[email protected]> --- drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/debugfs.c | 16 ++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/debugfs.c b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/debugfs.c index 7b8178b..cb6dd58 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/debugfs.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/dvm/debugfs.c @@ -2237,15 +2237,15 @@ static ssize_t iwl_dbgfs_log_event_read(struct file *file, size_t count, loff_t *ppos) { struct iwl_priv *priv = file->private_data; - char *buf; - int pos = 0; - ssize_t ret = -ENOMEM; + char *buf = NULL; + ssize_t ret; - ret = pos = iwl_dump_nic_event_log(priv, true, &buf, true); - if (buf) { - ret = simple_read_from_buffer(user_buf, count, ppos, buf, pos); - kfree(buf); - } + ret = iwl_dump_nic_event_log(priv, true, &buf, true); + if (ret < 0) + goto err; + ret = simple_read_from_buffer(user_buf, count, ppos, buf, ret); +err: + kfree(buf); return ret; } -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
