[PATCH] net/cdc_ncm: fix null pointer panic at usbnet_link_change

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

 



From: "Du, Changbin" <changbinx.du@xxxxxxxxx>

In cdc_ncm_bind() function, it call cdc_ncm_bind_common() to setup usb.
But cdc_ncm_bind_common() may meet error and cause usbnet_disconnect()
be called which calls free_netdev(net). Thus usbnet structure(alloced
with net_device structure) will be freed,too.
So we cannot call usbnet_link_change() if cdc_ncm_bind_common() return
error.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000078
EIP is at usbnet_link_change+0x1e/0x80
