[PATCH] usb: gadget: f_mass_storage: fix null pointer dereference in fsg_common_set_num_buffers()
From: Jeffin Philip
Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 07:12:23 EST
In fsg_common_set_num_buffers(), n can be 0 as conversion to u8
using kstrtou8() in fsg_opts_num_buffers_store() can return
values from _0_ to 255. When passing 0 as "n" value to kzalloc_objs,
it can return a ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which passes the null check for
buffhds. This leads to a null pointer dereference later in bh->next
in the do while loop. Fix this by adding a check for n = 0 case and
returning -EINVAL if n is 0.
