Fix null pointer deref in hci_phy_link_complete_evt, there was no checking there for the hcon->amp_mgr->l2cap_conn->hconn, and also in hci_cmd_work, for hdev->sent_cmd. To fix this issue Add pointer checking in hci_cmd_work and hci_phy_link_complete_evt. [Linux-next-20200827] This patch corrected some mistakes from previous patch.

Are you sure something previous to this shouldn't be fixed instead?Sir, sent_cmd was freed before this condition check, thats why i checked it,
But it can not be NULL at that point in time, as nothing set it to NULL, correct?
i think i should check it before the free of hdev->sent_cmd like, if (hdev->sent_cmd) kfree_skb(hdev->sent_cmd);
No, that's not needed. What is the problem with these lines that you are trying to solve?

But does hcon->amp_mgr->l2cap_conn->hcon become NULL here? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Linux-kernel-mentees mailing list Linux-kernel-mentees@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-kernel-mentees
