It's possible to trigger NULL pointer dereference by local unprivileged user, when calling getsockname() after failed bind() (e.g. the bind fails because LLCP_SAP_MAX used as SAP): BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 CPU: 1 PID: 426 Comm: llcp_sock_getna Not tainted 5.13.0-rc2-next-20210521+ #9 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-1 04/01/2014 Call Trace: llcp_sock_getname+0xb1/0xe0 __sys_getpeername+0x95/0xc0 ? lockdep_hardirqs_on_prepare+0xd5/0x180 ? syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x40 __x64_sys_getpeername+0x11/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x36/0x70 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae This can be reproduced with Syzkaller C repro (bind followed by getpeername): https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/repro.c?x=14def446e00000 Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Fixes: d646960f7986 ("NFC: Initial LLCP support") Reported-by: syzbot+80fb126e7f7d8b1a5914@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Reported-by: butt3rflyh4ck <butterflyhuangxx@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzysztof.kozlowski@canonical.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210531072138.5219-1-krzysztof.kozlowski@canonical.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
