From d41a3effbb53b1bcea41e328d16a4d046a508381 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hillf Danton Date: Mon, 2 Sep 2019 13:37:29 +0100 Subject: keys: Fix missing null pointer check in request_key_auth_describe() If a request_key authentication token key gets revoked, there's a window in which request_key_auth_describe() can see it with a NULL payload - but it makes no check for this and something like the following oops may occur: BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x00000038 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000004ddf30 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] ...
