Subject: [PATCH net 5/5] rose: guard rose_neigh_put() against NULL in timer expiry
Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 16:43:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260426144305.984349-6-bernard.f6bvp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260426144305.984349-1-bernard.f6bvp@gmail.com>
In rose_timer_expiry(), the ROSE_STATE_2 branch calls
rose_neigh_put(rose->neighbour) without first checking whether the
pointer is NULL. After commit 5de7665e0a07 ("net: rose: fix timer
races against user threads") the timer is re-armed when the socket is
owned by a user thread; between the re-arm and the next firing, a
device-down event or concurrent teardown via rose_kill_by_device() can
set rose->neighbour to NULL, leading to a NULL-pointer dereference
inside rose_neigh_put().
Add a NULL check before the put and clear the pointer afterwards.
Fixes: 5de7665e0a07 ("net: rose: fix timer races against user threads")
