From fe9b47944edff9b6244c4f5e81bd7b50574dc22b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jia-Ju Bai Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 13:24:06 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] iwl4965: Fix a null pointer dereference in il_tx_queue_free and il_cmd_queue_free If "txq->cmd = kzalloc(...)" in il_tx_queue_init fails, "kfree(txq->cmd[i])" in il_tx_queue_free and il_cmd_queue_free in iwl4965_hw_txq_ctx_free will causes a null pointer dereference, because txq->cmd is NULL at that time. This patch fixes this problem by adding a if-check before kfree. To avoid double free in il_tx_queue_free and il_cmd_queue_free caused by the fixing, txq->meta and txq->cmd in error handling code of il_tx_queue_init are assigned null values. Otherwise, a double free will occur. This patch has been tested in real device, and it actually fixes the bug. Thanks Stanislaw for his suggestion.
