SendReceive2 returning an error and rsp being uninitialized. we should audit the rest of smb2pdu.c if there are other instances as well.) regards Ronnie Sahlberg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Petr Vandrovec" <petr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "ronnie sahlberg" <ronniesahlberg@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-cifs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, 11 October, 2017 9:02:18 AM Subject: Re: NULL pointer dereference in SMB2_tcon on 4.14-rc4 On Tue, Oct 10, 2017 at 2:49 PM, ronnie sahlberg <ronniesahlberg@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Another NULL pointer deref in an error path. > > Is it reproduceable ? I.e. can you reproduce at will and verify a patch ? Hi, yes, I can reproduce it at will. It is triggered by trying to mount share that requires encryption. Replacing target of goto in error path for rc != 0 with tcon_exit was enough to stop crashes, and let me figure out what's wrong with server... Thanks, Petr P.S.: Ronnie, you'll get this twice.
