[PATCH] mm: fix potential invalid pointer dereference in kmemdup()

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

 



If kmemdup() was called with src == NULL, then memcpy() source address
is fatal, and if kmemdup() was called with len == 0, kmalloc_track_caller()
will return ZERO_SIZE_PTR to variable p, then memcpy() destination address
is fatal. Both 2 cases will cause an invalid pointer dereference.
