[added to the 4.1 stable tree] binder: check for binder_thread allocation failure in binder_poll()

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

 



From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit f88982679f54f75daa5b8eff3da72508f1e7422f ]

If the kzalloc() in binder_get_thread() fails, binder_poll()
dereferences the resulting NULL pointer.

Fix it by returning POLLERR if the memory allocation failed.

This bug was found by syzkaller using fault injection.
