commit: 922b67c1ac53014d80649a961a2fde700cd065d8 From: Ian Abbott <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 16:25:21 +0100 Subject: staging: comedi: ni_labpc: fix possible NULL deref during detach
`labpc_common_detach()` is called by the comedi core to clean up if either `labpc_attach()` (including the one in the "ni_labpc_cs" module) or `labpc_attach_pci()` returns an error. It assumes the `thisboard` macro (expanding to `((struct labpc_board_struct *)dev->board_ptr)`) is non-null. This is a valid assumption if `labpc_attach()` fails, but not if `labpc_attach_pci()` fails, leading to a possible NULL pointer dereference. Check `thisboard` at the top of `labpc_common_detach()` and return early if it is `NULL`. This is okay because the only other thing that could have been allocated is `dev->private` and that is freed by the comedi core, not by this function.
