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.
