Subject: [patch 14/15] coredump: fix null pointer dereference on coredump
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2020 18:14:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200421011420.GnVj8rZfk%akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200420181310.c18b3c0aa4dc5b3e5ec1be10@linux-foundation.org>

Subject: coredump: fix null pointer dereference on coredump
If the core_pattern is set to "|" and any process segfaults then we get
a null pointer derefernce while trying to coredump. The call stack shows:
[ 108.212680] RIP: 0010:do_coredump+0x628/0x11c0
When the core_pattern has only "|" there is no use of trying the coredump
and we can check that while formating the corename and exit with an error.
After this change I get:
[ 48.453756] format_corename failed
[ 48.453758] Aborting core
