Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint 2/2] batman-adv: Fix segfault when writing to sysfs elp_interval
Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2018 16:46:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180831144648.24032-2-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180831144648.24032-1-sven@narfation.org>
The per hardif sysfs file "batman_adv/elp_interval" is using the generic
functions to store/show uint values. The helper __batadv_store_uint_attr
requires the softif net_device as parameter to print the resulting change
as info text when the users writes to this file. It uses the helper
function batadv_info to add it at the same time to the kernel ring buffer
and to the batman-adv debug log (when CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG is enabled).
The function batadv_info requires as first parameter the batman-adv softif
net_device. This parameter is then used to find the private buffer which
contains the debug log for this batman-adv interface. But
batadv_store_throughput_override used as first argument the slave
net_device. This slave device doesn't have the batadv_priv private data
which is access by batadv_info.
Writing to this file with CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG enabled can either lead
to a segfault or to memory corruption.
Fixes: ec46535b8275 ("batman-adv: Add hard_iface specific sysfs wrapper macros for UINT")
