In psz_init_zones, if the requested area has a total_size less than record_size, kcalloc will be called with c == 0 and will return ZERO_SIZE_PTR. Further, this will lead to an oops.
With this patch, in this scenario, it will look like this : [ 6.865545] pstore_zone: total size : 28672 Bytes [ 6.865547] pstore_zone: kmsg size : 65536 Bytes [ 6.865549] pstore_zone: pmsg size : 0 Bytes [ 6.865551] pstore_zone: console size : 0 Bytes [ 6.865553] pstore_zone: ftrace size : 0 Bytes [ 6.872095] pstore_zone: zone dmesg total_size too small [ 6.878234] pstore_zone: alloc zones failed Signed-off-by: Eugen Hristev <eugen.hris...@linaro.org> --- Changes in v2: - reworked to check for c==0 instead of ZERO_SIZE_PTR as suggested by Kees Cook fs/pstore/zone.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/pstore/zone.c b/fs/pstore/zone.c index 694db616663f..ceb5639a0629 100644 --- a/fs/pstore/zone.c +++ b/fs/pstore/zone.c @@ -1212,6 +1212,11 @@ static struct pstore_zone **psz_init_zones(enum pstore_type_id type, } c = total_size / record_size; + if (unlikely(!c)) { + pr_err("zone %s total_size too small\n", name); + return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL); + } + zones = kcalloc(c, sizeof(*zones), GFP_KERNEL); if (!zones) { pr_err("allocate for zones %s failed\n", name); -- 2.43.0
