[ Upstream commit ec4eb8a86ade4d22633e1da2a7d85a846b7d1798 ]
When a slip driver is detaching, the slip_close() will act to
cleanup necessary resources and sl->tty is set to NULL in
slip_close(). Meanwhile, the packet we transmit is blocked,
sl_tx_timeout() will be called. Although slip_close() and
sl_tx_timeout() use sl->lock to synchronize, we don`t judge
whether sl->tty equals to NULL in sl_tx_timeout() and the
null pointer dereference bug will happen.
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| slip_close()
| spin_lock_bh(&sl->lock)
| ...
... | sl->tty = NULL //(1)
sl_tx_timeout() | spin_unlock_bh(&sl->lock)
spin_lock(&sl->lock); |
... | ...
tty_chars_in_buffer(sl->tty)|
if (tty->ops->..) //(2) |
... | synchronize_rcu()
We set NULL to sl->tty in position (1) and dereference sl->tty
in position (2).
This patch adds check in sl_tx_timeout(). If sl->tty equals to
NULL, sl_tx_timeout() will goto out.
