Subject: staging: media: ipu7: fix double-free and use-after-free in error paths
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d3a9a8cf2d7fd61a2f63df61f6cbc0a9bb007cc0;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

staging: media: ipu7: fix double-free and use-after-free in error paths

In both ipu7_isys_init() and ipu7_psys_init(), pdata is allocated and
then passed to ipu7_bus_initialize_device(), which stores it in
adev->pdata. The ipu7_bus_release() function frees adev->pdata when the
device's reference count drops to zero.

Two error paths incorrectly call kfree(pdata) after the device teardown
has already freed it:

1. When ipu7_mmu_init() fails: put_device() is called, which drops the
   reference count to zero and triggers ipu7_bus_release() ->
   kfree(pdata). The subsequent kfree(pdata) is a double-free.

2. When ipu7_bus_add_device() fails: it calls auxiliary_device_uninit()
   internally, which calls put_device() -> ipu7_bus_release() ->
   kfree(pdata). The subsequent kfree(pdata) is again a double-free.

Note that the kfree(pdata) when ipu7_bus_initialize_device() itself
fails is correct, because in that case auxiliary_device_init() failed
and the release function was never set up, so pdata must be freed
manually.

Additionally, the error code was not saved before calling put_device(),
causing ERR_CAST() to dereference the already-freed adev pointer when
constructing the return value. Fix this by saving the error from
dev_err_probe() before put_device() and returning ERR_PTR() instead.

Remove the redundant kfree(pdata) calls and fix the use-after-free in
the return values of the two affected error paths.
