[PATCH 3/5] autofs4 - fix waitq locking

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The autofs4_catatonic_mode() function accesses the wait queue without
any locking but can be called at any time. This could lead to a
possible double free of the name field of the wait and a double fput
of the daemon communication pipe or an fput of a NULL file pointer.
