From 457a73d346187c2cc5d599072f38676f18f130e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Gautam Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2012 18:11:19 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] usb: host: xhci: Fix Null pointer dereferencing with 71c731a for non-x86 systems In 71c731a: usb: host: xhci: Fix Compliance Mode on SN65LVPE502CP Hardware when extracting DMI strings (vendor or product_name) to mark them as quirk we may get NULL pointer in case of non-x86 systems which won't define CONFIG_DMI. Hence susbsequent strstr() calls crash while driver probing. So, returning 'false' here in case we get a NULL vendor or product_name. This is tested with ARM (exynos) system. This patch should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.6, that contain the commit 71c731a296f1b08a3724bd1b514b64f1bda87a23 "usb: host: xhci: Fix Compliance Mode on SN65LVPE502CP Hardware" Signed-off-by: Vivek Gautam Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp Reported-by: Sebastian Gottschall (DD-WRT) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org --- drivers/usb/host/xhci.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/xhci.c b/drivers/usb/host/xhci.c index 52b04b0..8d7fcbb 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/host/xhci.c +++ b/drivers/usb/host/xhci.c @@ -471,6 +471,8 @@ static bool compliance_mode_recovery_timer_quirk_check(void) dmi_product_name = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME); dmi_sys_vendor = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_SYS_VENDOR); + if (!dmi_product_name || !dmi_sys_vendor) + return false; if (!(strstr(dmi_sys_vendor, "Hewlett-Packard"))) return false; -- 2.7.4
