[PATCH] NFS4: Fix NULL deref in nfsd4_lock() by makeing unhash_lockowner() safe to call with NULL arg

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

 



The Coverity checker noticed a path through nfsd4_lock() where we call
release_lockowner(lock_sop); (at the 'out:' label) where 'lock_sop' is
NULL.
That goes bad since release_lockowner() calls unhash_lockowner() which
dereferences its argument.
release_lockowner() also calls nfs4_free_lockowner(), but that's not a
problem since that function just calls kfree() and kmem_cache_free(),
both of which are safe to call with NULL as argument.

There are several ways to fix the bug.
 - rework nfsd4_lock() so the call to release_lockowner(NULL) will never happen.
 - let release_lockowner() test for NULL and return if given one.
 - let unhash_lockowner() test for NULL and return if given one (which makes both it and release_lockowner() safe).

I chose the last option for this patch.

For information, the path Coverity spotted (in defect report 201504) is this:

3950nfsd4_lock(struct svc_rqst *rqstp, struct nfsd4_compound_state *cstate,
3951           struct nfsd4_lock *lock)
