Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_mass_storage: fix null pointer dereference in fsg_common_set_num_buffers()
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 16:38:39 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817110839.8201-1-jeffinphilip14@gmail.com> (raw)

In fsg_common_set_num_buffers(), n can be 0 as conversion to u8
using kstrtou8() in fsg_opts_num_buffers_store() can return
values from _0_ to 255. When passing 0 as "n" value to kzalloc_objs,
it can return a ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which passes the null check for
buffhds. This leads to a null pointer dereference later in bh->next
in the do while loop. Fix this by adding a check for n = 0 case and
returning -EINVAL if n is 0.

Reported-by: syzbot+791be35f1fbcc85d06d7@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=791be35f1fbcc85d06d7
