#719 Possible NULL-dereference in pam_check_user_search
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by sgallagh.

At conditional (1): "dom" taking the false branch.
Comparing "dom" to null implies that "dom" might be null.
  773    while (dom) {
  774       /* if it is a domainless search, skip domains that require fully
  775         * qualified names instead */

  850
At conditional (2): "preq->check_provider" taking the true branch.
  851    if (preq->check_provider) {
  852
  853        /* dont loop forever :-) */
  854        preq->check_provider = false;
  855
Dereferencing null variable "dom".
  856        ret = sss_dp_send_acct_req(preq->cctx->rctx, preq,
  857                                   pam_check_user_dp_callback, preq,
  858                                   SSS_CLI_SOCKET_TIMEOUT/2,
  859                                   dom->name, false, SSS_DP_USER, name, 0);

After the while(dom) loop, we should check for whether dom is NULL and set preq->check_provider to false if so
