Set this pointer in ft_tport_create, or the unlinking won't happen in ft_del_tpg and tport->tpg will reference a deleted object. This patch sets tpg->tport in ft_tport_create, because that's what ft_del_tpg checks, and is the only way to get back to the tport to clear tport->tpg. The bug was occuring when: - lport created, tport (our per-lport, per-provider context) is allocated. tport->tpg = NULL - tpg created - a PRLI is received. ft_tport_create is called, tpg is found and tport->tpg is set - tpg removed. ft_tpg is freed in ft_del_tpg. Since tpg->tport was not set, tport->tpg is not cleared and points at freed memory - Future calls to ft_tport_create return tport via first conditional, instead of searching for new tpg by calling ft_lport_find_tpg. tport->tpg is still invalid, and will access freed memory. see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1071340 Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <agrover@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) --- a/drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c +++ b/drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c @@ -68,6 +68,7 @@ static struct ft_tport *ft_tport_create( if (tport) { tport->tpg = tpg; + tpg->tport = tport; return tport; } Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from agrover@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-3.10/target-tcm_fc-fix-use-after-free-of-ft_tpg.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
