            Bug ID: 266144
           Summary: bug in sndstat_unpack_user_nvlbuf()
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rtm@lcs.mit.edu

In this code in sndstat_unpack_user_nvlbuf() in sys/dev/sound/pcm/sndstat.c:

        *nvl = nvlist_unpack(nvlbuf, nbytes, 0);
        free(nvlbuf, M_DEVBUF);
        if (nvl == NULL) {
                return (EINVAL);
        }

I believe it should be

        if (*nvl == NULL) {

Without this fix, if nvlist_unpack() returns NULL, subsequent code
will panic when it tries to use a NULL *nvl.

A demo:

int main() {
  char *dev = "/dev/sndstat";
  int fd = open(dev, 2);
  if(fd < 0) { perror(dev); exit(1); }
  char buf2[64];
  memset(buf2, 0, sizeof(buf2));
  char buf1[128];
  memset(buf1, 0, sizeof(buf1));
  *(int*)(buf1+0) = sizeof(buf2);
  *(char**)(buf1+8) = buf2;
  ioctl(fd, 0xc0104466, buf1); // SNDSTIOC_ADD_USER_DEVS
}

panic: Assertion (nvl) != ((void *)0) failed at
