Subject: [PATCH] net: ceph: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in decode_choose_args()
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 15:56:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251218075603.8797-1-islituo@gmail.com> (raw)
In decode_choose_args(), arg_map->size is updated before memory is
allocated for arg_map->args using kcalloc(). If kcalloc() fails, execution
jumps to the fail label, where free_choose_arg_map() is called to release
resources. However, free_choose_arg_map() unconditionally iterates over
arg_map->args using arg_map->size, which can lead to a NULL pointer
dereference when arg_map->args is NULL:
for (i = 0; i < arg_map->size; i++) {
struct crush_choose_arg *arg = &arg_map->args[i];
for (j = 0; j < arg->weight_set_size; j++)
kfree(arg->weight_set[j].weights);
kfree(arg->weight_set);
kfree(arg->ids);
}
To prevent this potential NULL pointer dereference, move the assignment to
arg_map->size to after successful allocation of arg_map->args. This ensures
that when allocation fails, arg_map->size remains zero and the loop in
free_choose_arg_map() is not executed.
