linux-stable.git/drivers/powercap/powercap_sys.c, branch linux-3.16.y Linux kernel stable tree PowerCap: Fix an error code in powercap_register_zone() 2017-09-15T17:29:35+00:00 Dan Carpenter dan.carpenter@oracle.com 2017-05-10T19:40:06+00:00 9b4dc7aa7ae569e7f22639bc50fdc73a4b573abc commit 216c4e9db4c9d1d2a382b42880442dc632cd47d9 upstream. In the current code we accidentally return the successful result from idr_alloc() instead of a negative error pointer. The caller is looking for an error pointer and so it treats the returned value as a valid pointer. This one might be a bit serious because if it lets people get around the kernel's protection for remapping NULL. I'm not sure.

commit 216c4e9db4c9d1d2a382b42880442dc632cd47d9 upstream.

In the current code we accidentally return the successful result from
idr_alloc() instead of a negative error pointer.  The caller is looking
for an error pointer and so it treats the returned value as a valid
pointer.

This one might be a bit serious because if it lets people get around the
kernel's protection for remapping NULL.  I'm not sure.
