user pointer bugs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

In linux-2.6.19.2, do the following lines have bugs in them? It looks
like they dereference a user pointer without first being checked by
the "access_ok" macro to ensure that they point into userspace.

Suhabe

========================
File: sound/isa/sscape.c
Lines: 550, 665
Description: The pointer "bb" is dereferenced in the expression
"bb->code" without being checked first.
Fix: Replace "bb->code" with "&bb->code"

========================
File: block/scsi_ioctl.c
Lines: 406, 427, 430, 482, 486
Description: The pointer "sic" is dereferenced in the expression
"sic->data" without being checked first.
Fix: Replace "sic->code" with "&sic->code"

========================
File: sound/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c
Line: 4589
Description: The pointer "mixer" is dereferenced in the expression
"mixer->data" without being checked first.
