From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0ddc942394013f08992fc379ca04cffacbbe3dae ] I think this is unlikely but possible: svc_authenticate sets rq_authop and calls svcauth_gss_accept. The kmalloc(sizeof(*svcdata), GFP_KERNEL) fails, leaving rq_auth_data NULL, and returning SVC_DENIED. This causes svc_process_common to go to err_bad_auth, and eventually call svc_authorise. That calls ->release == svcauth_gss_release, which tries to dereference rq_auth_data. Signed-off-by: J.
