From: Sven Schnelle <svens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit db4df8e9d79e7d37732c1a1b560958e8dadfefa1 ] When specifying an invalid console= device like console=tty3270, tty_driver_lookup_tty() returns the tty struct without checking whether index is a valid number. To reproduce: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -nographic -serial mon:stdio \ -kernel ../linux-build-x86/arch/x86/boot/bzImage \ -append "console=ttyS0 console=tty3270" This crashes with: [ 0.770599] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000ef [ 0.771265] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 0.771773] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 0.772609] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI [ 0.774878] RIP: 0010:tty_open+0x268/0x6f0 [ 0.784013] chrdev_open+0xbd/0x230 [ 0.784444] ? cdev_device_add+0x80/0x80 [ 0.784920] do_dentry_open+0x1e0/0x410 [ 0.785389] path_openat+0xca9/0x1050 [ 0.785813] do_filp_open+0xaa/0x150 [ 0.786240] file_open_name+0x133/0x1b0 [ 0.786746] filp_open+0x27/0x50 [ 0.787244] console_on_rootfs+0x14/0x4d [ 0.787800] kernel_init_freeable+0x1e4/0x20d [ 0.788383] ? rest_init+0xc0/0xc0 [ 0.788881] kernel_init+0x11/0x120 [ 0.789356] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 Signed-off-by: Sven Schnelle <svens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221209112737.3222509-2-svens@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/tty/tty_io.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/tty/tty_io.c b/drivers/tty/tty_io.c index b6f42d0ee6269..d3e6b66155536 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/tty_io.c +++ b/drivers/tty/tty_io.c @@ -1155,14 +1155,16 @@ static struct tty_struct *tty_driver_lookup_tty(struct tty_driver *driver, { struct tty_struct *tty; - if (driver->ops->lookup) + if (driver->ops->lookup) { if (!file) tty = ERR_PTR(-EIO); else tty = driver->ops->lookup(driver, file, idx); - else + } else { + if (idx >= driver->num) + return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL); tty = driver->ttys[idx]; - + } if (!IS_ERR(tty)) tty_kref_get(tty); return tty; -- 2.39.2
