From: Mateusz Jurczyk Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 10:42:26 +0000 (+0200) Subject: nfc: Ensure presence of required attributes in the activate_target handler X-Git-Tag: v4.4.79~72 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ecb7abed0be9e5ced334ccd76e809cd34a00e23c;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git nfc: Ensure presence of required attributes in the activate_target handler commit a0323b979f81ad2deb2c8836eab506534891876a upstream. Check that the NFC_ATTR_TARGET_INDEX and NFC_ATTR_PROTOCOLS attributes (in addition to NFC_ATTR_DEVICE_INDEX) are provided by the netlink client prior to accessing them. This prevents potential unhandled NULL pointer dereference exceptions which can be triggered by malicious user-mode programs, if they omit one or both of these attributes.
