The first\nprobed function allocates the driver data and stores it with\npci_set_drvdata(), while the second function reuses it via\npci_get_drvdata() when pci_is_enabled() reports that the first\nfunction has already been probed.\n\nWhen the second function is probed while the first one has been\nenabled but has not yet set its driver data, pci_get_drvdata()\nreturns NULL, and the subsequent wrap->devfn assignment dereferences\na NULL pointer and crashes the kernel.\nlogs:\nCall trace:\n  cdns3_pci_probe+0xa4/0x300\n  local_pci_probe+0x44/0xa8\n  pci_call_probe+0x54/0x158\n  pci_device_probe+0x84/0x100\n  really_probe+0x184/0x3d0\n  __driver_probe_device+0x80/0x178\n  driver_probe_device+0x44/0xe8\n  __driver_attach+0xec/0x1f8\n  bus_for_each_dev+0x7c/0xe0\n  driver_attach+0x28/0x38\n  bus_add_driver+0x110/0x238\n  driver_register+0x64/0x128\n  __pci_register_driver+0x50/0x60\n  cdns3_pci_driver_init+0x28/0x38\n  do_one_initcall+0x5c/0x280\n  do_initcalls+0x104/0x1d8\n  kernel_init_freeable+0x140/0x218\n  kernel_init+0x28/0x1f8\n  ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n\nReturn -EPROBE_DEFER in this case so that probing is retried after\nthe first function has completed its probe.","cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"cvssVector":null,"cwes":[],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/45b606418bae73c7cde9f0e57e5b0977c816a7c0","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/549c04df02f1bb5a10342f32e2c87f5d27c97279","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d16046f1ace2691b6a946f022fe6dc215936880b","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e5052f2c5c73c1dcca42bafc0bc737af2b2af059","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
