Reviewing the code I found that return value of function udev_device_get_sysattr_value() is dereferenced without a check. udev_device_get_sysattr_value() may return NULL by number of reasons. v2: VIR_DEBUG added, replaced STREQ(NULLSTR()) with STREQ_NULLABLE() Signed-off-by: Dmitry Frolov <frolov(a)swemel.ru&gt; --- src/interface/interface_backend_udev.c | 16 +++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/interface/interface_backend_udev.c b/src/interface/interface_backend_udev.c index a0485ddd21..df7066727e 100644 --- a/src/interface/interface_backend_udev.c +++ b/src/interface/interface_backend_udev.c @@ -23,6 +23,7 @@ #include <dirent.h> #include <libudev.h> +#include "virlog.h" #include "virerror.h" #include "virfile.h" #include "datatypes.h" @@ -40,6 +41,8 @@ #define VIR_FROM_THIS VIR_FROM_INTERFACE +VIR_LOG_INIT("interface.interface_backend_udev"); + struct udev_iface_driver { struct udev *udev; /* pid file FD, ensures two copies of the driver can't use the same root */ @@ -355,10 +358,13 @@ udevConnectListAllInterfaces(virConnectPtr conn, g_autoptr(virInterfaceDef) def = NULL; path = udev_list_entry_get_name(dev_entry); - dev = udev_device_new_from_syspath(udev, path); + if (!(dev = udev_device_new_from_syspath(udev, path))) { + VIR_DEBUG("Skipping interface '%s'", NULLSTR(path)); + continue; + } name = udev_device_get_sysname(dev); macaddr = udev_device_get_sysattr_value(dev, "address"); - status = STREQ(udev_device_get_sysattr_value(dev, "operstate"), "up"); + status = STREQ_NULLABLE(udev_device_get_sysattr_value(dev, "operstate"), "up"); def = udevGetMinimalDefForDevice(dev); if (!virConnectListAllInterfacesCheckACL(conn, def)) { @@ -964,9 +970,9 @@ udevGetIfaceDef(struct udev *udev, const char *name) /* MTU */ mtu_str = udev_device_get_sysattr_value(dev, "mtu"); - if (virStrToLong_ui(mtu_str, NULL, 10, &mtu) < 0) { + if (!mtu_str || virStrToLong_ui(mtu_str, NULL, 10, &mtu) < 0) { virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, - _("Could not parse MTU value '%1$s'"), mtu_str); + _("Could not parse MTU value '%1$s'"), NULLSTR(mtu_str)); goto error; } ifacedef->mtu = mtu; @@ -1089,7 +1095,7 @@ udevInterfaceIsActive(virInterfacePtr ifinfo) goto cleanup; /* Check if it's active or not */ - status = STREQ(udev_device_get_sysattr_value(dev, "operstate"), "up"); + status = STREQ_NULLABLE(udev_device_get_sysattr_value(dev, "operstate"), "up"); udev_device_unref(dev); -- 2.34.1
