This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tipc: move bc link creation back to tipc_node_create to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tipc-move-bc-link-creation-back-to-tipc_node_create.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From cb8092d70a6f5f01ec1490fce4d35efed3ed996c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2022 12:24:31 -0400 Subject: tipc: move bc link creation back to tipc_node_create From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx> commit cb8092d70a6f5f01ec1490fce4d35efed3ed996c upstream. Shuang Li reported a NULL pointer dereference crash: [] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000068 [] RIP: 0010:tipc_link_is_up+0x5/0x10 [tipc] [] Call Trace: [] <IRQ> [] tipc_bcast_rcv+0xa2/0x190 [tipc] [] tipc_node_bc_rcv+0x8b/0x200 [tipc] [] tipc_rcv+0x3af/0x5b0 [tipc] [] tipc_udp_recv+0xc7/0x1e0 [tipc] It was caused by the 'l' passed into tipc_bcast_rcv() is NULL. When it creates a node in tipc_node_check_dest(), after inserting the new node into hashtable in tipc_node_create(), it creates the bc link. However, there is a gap between this insert and bc link creation, a bc packet may come in and get the node from the hashtable then try to dereference its bc link, which is NULL. This patch is to fix it by moving the bc link creation before inserting into the hashtable. Note that for a preliminary node becoming "real", the bc link creation should also be called before it's rehashed, as we don't create it for preliminary nodes.
