Subject: [PATCH 4/9] netfilter: ctnetlink: make it safer when checking the ct helper name
Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2017 02:26:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1492129611-29336-5-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1492129611-29336-1-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@gmail.com>
One CPU is doing ctnetlink_change_helper(), while another CPU is doing
unhelp() at the same time. So even if help->helper is not NULL at first,
the later statement strcmp(help->helper->name, ...) may still access
the NULL pointer.
So we must use rcu_read_lock and rcu_dereference to avoid such _bad_
thing happen.
