[PATCH 1/2] block: drbd: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in receive_protocol()

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Tue Jul 23 2019 - 23:49:25 EST


In receive_protocol(), when crypto_alloc_shash() on line 3754 fails,
peer_integrity_tfm is NULL, and error handling code is executed.
In this code, crypto_free_shash() is called with NULL, which can cause a
null-pointer dereference, because:
crypto_free_shash(NULL)
crypto_ahash_tfm(NULL)
"return &NULL->base"

To fix this bug, peer_integrity_tfm is checked before calling
crypto_free_shash().

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
