Subject: [PATCH net] net/af_iucv: fix NULL deref in afiucv_hs_callback_syn()
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 11:40:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706094019.6600-1-hidayath@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
afiucv_hs_callback_syn() allocates the child socket with GFP_ATOMIC,
which can fail and return NULL. The connection-refused branch is
entered when the listen state check fails, the accept backlog is
full, or nsk is NULL - and unconditionally calls iucv_sock_kill(nsk).
When entered due to allocation failure, iucv_sock_kill() dereferences
the NULL pointer at the sock_flag(sk, SOCK_ZAPPED) check, causing a
NULL pointer dereference in softirq context.
Only kill the child socket if it was actually allocated.
Fixes: 3881ac441f64 ("af_iucv: add HiperSockets transport")
