Another way to reproduce a ROSE panic is, if I remember correctly, you remove the backing AX.25 interface's connection (say killing kisssattach for ax0) on a ROSE interface that has an IP, that will also panic the kernel every time.

Hi Bernard,

I've provided a bit more information on what I did here:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/syzkaller/v-4B3zoBC-4/MVgYoeSQCgAJ

I really did not do anything fancy.

FWIW I had to do the following locally just to prevent rose from
crashing my machine all the time. I don't know if it's the right fix
or not, I just used this as stop-gap.

diff --git a/net/rose/rose_route.c b/net/rose/rose_route.c
index 77e9f85a2c92..218308a3c02c 100644
--- a/net/rose/rose_route.c
+++ b/net/rose/rose_route.c
@@ -874,6 +874,8 @@ int rose_route_frame(struct sk_buff *skb, ax25_cb *ax25)
skb->data[ROSE_CALL_REQ_ADDR_LEN_OFF] !=
ROSE_CALL_REQ_ADDR_LEN_VAL))
return res;
+ if (ax25 == NULL)
+ return res;
src_addr = (rose_address *)(skb->data + ROSE_CALL_REQ_SRC_ADDR_OFF);
dest_addr = (rose_address *)(skb->data + ROSE_CALL_REQ_DEST_ADDR_OFF);

rose_xmit calls rose_route_frame with ax25==NULL, then
rose_route_frame uses ax25 without any checks.
