Subject: [PATCH master] ubifs: fix crash building without decompressors
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2022 11:20:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220713092047.1588210-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

When building barebox with ubifs support, but without decompressors
enabled, we run into a NULL pointer dereference:

  BUG: failure at lib/string.c:249/strncmp()!

  [<4fd8c9f3>] (barebox_non_pbl_start+0x127/0x170) from [<4fd00005>] (__bare_init_start+0x1/0xc)

This is because the loop in crypto_alloc_comp iterates over all possible
decompressors and then accesses comp->capi_name, which will be NULL for
unusable decompressors. Add a NULL check to handle this gracefully.
A check for alg_name isn't needed because it's already checked in
compr_init.
