If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Sat Apr 24 04:46:08 PM CEST 2021 From: Anirudh Rayabharam <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2021 22:57:22 +0530 Subject: net: hso: fix null-ptr-deref during tty device unregistration From: Anirudh Rayabharam <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8a12f8836145ffe37e9c8733dce18c22fb668b66 upstream Multiple ttys try to claim the same the minor number causing a double unregistration of the same device. The first unregistration succeeds but the next one results in a null-ptr-deref. The get_free_serial_index() function returns an available minor number but doesn't assign it immediately. The assignment is done by the caller later. But before this assignment, calls to get_free_serial_index() would return the same minor number. Fix this by modifying get_free_serial_index to assign the minor number immediately after one is found to be and rename it to obtain_minor() to better reflect what it does. Similary, rename set_serial_by_index() to release_minor() and modify it to free up the minor number of the given hso_serial. Every obtain_minor() should have corresponding release_minor() call.
