SubjectRe:Re: drivers/s390/char/keyboard.c NULL pointer reference


I don't understand a bit,My idea is

in userland

fd=open("tty3270",O_RDONLY)
...
ret=ioctl(fd,KDGKBDIACR,NULL)
...

then here
drivers/s390/char/keyboard.c
477
case KDGKBDIACR:
{
struct kbdiacrs __user *a = argp;
struct kbdiacr diacr;
int i;

//a is NULL,a->kb_cnt will crash
if (put_user(kbd->accent_table_size, &a->kb_cnt))
