Subject: [PATCH net] ethtool: ioctl: fix potential NULL deref in ethtool_set_coalesce()
Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2021 18:55:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211126175543.28000-1-jwi@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
ethtool_set_coalesce() now uses both the .get_coalesce() and
.set_coalesce() callbacks. But the check for their availability is
buggy, so changing the coalesce settings on a device where the driver
provides only _one_ of the callbacks results in a NULL pointer
dereference instead of an -EOPNOTSUPP.
Fix the condition so that the availability of both callbacks is
ensured. This also matches the netlink code.
Note that reproducing this requires some effort - it only affects the
legacy ioctl path, and needs a specific combination of driver options:
- have .get_coalesce() and .coalesce_supported but no
.set_coalesce(), or
- have .set_coalesce() but no .get_coalesce(). Here eg. ethtool doesn't
cause the crash as it first attempts to call ethtool_get_coalesce()
and bails out on error.
Fixes: f3ccfda19319 ("ethtool: extend coalesce setting uAPI with CQE mode")
