From 4f61f133f354853bc394ec7d6028adb9b02dd701 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cezar Bulinaru cbulinaru@gmail.com Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2022 02:27:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] net: tap: NULL pointer derefence in dev_parse_header_protocol when skb->dev is null
Fixes a NULL pointer derefence bug triggered from tap driver. When tap_get_user calls virtio_net_hdr_to_skb the skb->dev is null (in tap.c skb->dev is set after the call to virtio_net_hdr_to_skb) virtio_net_hdr_to_skb calls dev_parse_header_protocol which needs skb->dev field to be valid.
The line that trigers the bug is in dev_parse_header_protocol (dev is at offset 0x10 from skb and is stored in RAX register) if (!dev->header_ops || !dev->header_ops->parse_protocol) 22e1: mov 0x10(%rbx),%rax 22e5: mov 0x230(%rax),%rax
Setting skb->dev before the call in tap.c fixes the issue.
