stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.220 commit 57af54a56024435d83e44c78449513b414eb6edf category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I9S240 CVE: CVE-2021-47542
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit e2dabc4f7e7b60299c20a36d6a7b24ed9bf8e572 upstream.
In qlcnic_83xx_add_rings(), the indirect function of ahw->hw_ops->alloc_mbx_args will be called to allocate memory for cmd.req.arg, and there is a dereference of it in qlcnic_83xx_add_rings(), which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of the indirect function like qlcnic_83xx_alloc_mbx_args().
Fix this bug by adding a check of alloc_mbx_args(), this patch imitates the logic of mbx_cmd()'s failure handling.
This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs.
Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed the bug.
Builds with CONFIG_QLCNIC=m show no new warnings, and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.
