Subject: [PATCH] usbip: usbip_host: Fix null pointer dereference in rebind_store
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 10:47:26 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806051726.24343-1-jeffinphilip14@gmail.com> (raw)
rebind_store calls do_rebind which dereferences udev without
checking if it is NULL. If busid is registered using match_busid
but the device is not present in the first place, it triggers a
null pointer dereference when we attempt to rebind the device.
Fix this by checking explicitly for udev first and returning
-ENODEV if udev is NULL.
Reported-by: syzbot+af76b01c9a0f0ab60fb0@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=af76b01c9a0f0ab60fb0
Fixes: 4bfb141bc013 ("usbip: usbip_host: fix to hold parent lock for device_attach() calls")
