When mounting eCryptfs, a null "dev_name" argument to ecryptfs_mount() causes a kernel panic if the parsed options are valid. The easiest way to reproduce this is to call mount() from userspace with an existing eCryptfs mount's options and a "source" argument of 0. Error out if "dev_name" is null in ecryptfs_mount() Fixes: 237fead61998 ("[PATCH] ecryptfs: fs/Makefile and fs/Kconfig") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Jeffrey Mitchell <jeffrey.mitchell@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <code@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ecryptfs/main.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) --- a/fs/ecryptfs/main.c +++ b/fs/ecryptfs/main.c @@ -492,6 +492,12 @@ static struct dentry *ecryptfs_mount(str goto out; } + if (!dev_name) { + rc = -EINVAL; + err = "Device name cannot be null"; + goto out; + } + rc = ecryptfs_parse_options(sbi, raw_data, &check_ruid); if (rc) { err = "Error parsing options"; Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from jeffrey.mitchell@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-5.10/ecryptfs-fix-kernel-panic-with-null-dev_name.patch
