Subject: [PATCH net] net/af_iucv: fix NULL deref in afiucv_hs_callback_syn()
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 21:17:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709191732.124092-1-hidayath@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
afiucv_hs_callback_syn() allocates the child socket with GFP_ATOMIC.
If the allocation fails, nsk is NULL.
The connection-refused path is entered when the listen state check
fails, the accept backlog is full, or nsk is NULL. The code
unconditionally calls iucv_sock_kill(nsk) in that path.
iucv_sock_kill() does not accept a NULL socket pointer and immediately
dereferences sk via sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED). When nsk is NULL,
calling iucv_sock_kill(nsk) results in a NULL pointer dereference.
Only call iucv_sock_kill() when a child socket was successfully
allocated.
Fixes: 3881ac441f64 ("af_iucv: add HiperSockets transport")
