From 71501d9b61902d8ddf0e782a2e6763afd2aa0c96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 05:26:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: fix NULL dereference in free_fib_info_rcu() [ Upstream commit 187e5b3ac84d3421d2de3aca949b2791fbcad554 ] If fi->fib_metrics could not be allocated in fib_create_info() we attempt to dereference a NULL pointer in free_fib_info_rcu() : m = fi->fib_metrics; if (m != &dst_default_metrics && atomic_dec_and_test(&m->refcnt)) kfree(m); Before my recent patch, we used to call kfree(NULL) and nothing wrong happened. Instead of using RCU to defer freeing while we are under memory stress, it seems better to take immediate action. This was reported by syzkaller team.
