[011/103] HID: hidraw, fix a NULL pointer dereference in hidraw_ioctl

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Oct 22 2010 - 15:23:31 EST


2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Antonio Ospite <ospite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d20d5ffab92f00188f360c44c791a5ffb988247c upstream.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
IP: [<ffffffffa02c66b4>] hidraw_ioctl+0xfc/0x32c [hid]
[...]

This is reproducible by disconnecting the device while userspace does
ioctl in a loop and doesn't check return values in order to exit the
loop.
