Subject: [patch 1/3] NFS: fix potential NULL pointer dereference
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 21:44:22 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48063bc9.2234440a.747d.09ea@mx.google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080416174421.442716301@gmail.com>
[-- Attachment #1: nfs-kstrdup-nul-fix --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 875 bytes --]
It's possible to get NULL pointer dereference
if kstrndup failed
Here is a possible scenario
nfs4_get_sb
nfs4_validate_mount_data
o kstrndup failed so args->nfs_server.export_path = NULL
nfs4_create_server
nfs4_path_walk(..., NULL) -> Oops!
