Subject: [PATCH] binder: check for binder_thread allocation failure in binder_poll()
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2018 23:11:24 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180131071124.3214-1-ebiggers3@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <001a1141f0503ddaa4055f6f8079@google.com>

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

If the kzalloc() in binder_get_thread() fails, binder_poll()
dereferences the resulting NULL pointer.

Fix it by returning POLLERR if the memory allocation failed.

This bug was found by syzkaller using fault injection.
