Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: composite: fix possible kernel oops in composite_setup()
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2025 23:32:36 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0e61b364-8f26-4f98-9f10-9b9800b1cd41@omp.ru> (raw)
list_first_entry() should never return NULL -- which makes Svace complain
about the next *if* statement's condition being always false. What's worse,
list_first_entry() won't work correctly when the list is empty -- in that
case, passing config->descriptors[0] to memcpy() further below will cause
dereferencing of a garbage pointer read from cdev->qw_sign[] and so (most
probably) a kernel oops. Use list_first_entry_or_null() that returns NULL
if the list is empty; fix the strange indentation below, while at it...
TTBOMK, this situation shouldn't happen with the current gadget drivers --
however there's no guarantee that usb_add_config[_only]() is called by any
gadget driver; and anyway, Svace's complaints would be silenced...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.
