[PATCH 4.6 70/96] mmc: block: fix free of uninitialized idata->buf

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Aug 08 2016 - 15:20:04 EST


4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ville Viinikka <ville@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit bfe5b1b1e013f7b1c0fd2ac3b3c8c380114b3fb9 upstream.

Set 'idata->buf' to NULL so that it never gets returned without
initialization. This fixes a bug where mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd() would
free both 'idata' and 'idata->buf' but 'idata->buf' was returned
uninitialized.

Fixes: 1ff8950c0433 ("mmc: block: change to use kmalloc when copy data from userspace")
