From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Nikolay Aleksandrov Subject: [PATCH] bonding: fix race condition in bonding_store_slaves_active Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2012 13:19:55 +0100 Message-ID: <1353759595-30452-1-git-send-email-nikolay@redhat.com> Cc: andy@greyhouse.net, fubar@us.ibm.com, davem@davemloft.net To: netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mx1.redhat.com ([209.132.183.28]:28657 "EHLO mx1.redhat.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1750951Ab2KXMWA (ORCPT ); Sat, 24 Nov 2012 07:22:00 -0500 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Race between bonding_store_slaves_active() and slave manipulation functions The bond_for_each_slave use in bonding_store_slaves_active() is not protected by any synchronization mechanism. NULL pointer dereference is easy to reach. Fixed by acquiring the bond->lock for the slave walk.
