3.19.8-ckt18 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e8e56ffd9d2973398b60ece1f1bebb8d67b4d032 upstream.
Locking ppp_mutex must be done before dereferencing file->private_data,
otherwise it could be modified before ppp_unattached_ioctl() takes the
lock. This could lead ppp_unattached_ioctl() to override ->private_data,
thus leaking reference to the ppp_file previously pointed to.
v2: lock all ppp_ioctl() instead of just checking private_data in
ppp_unattached_ioctl(), to avoid ambiguous behaviour.
Fixes: f3ff8a4d80e8 ("ppp: push BKL down into the driver")
