Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 2/2] mtd: docg3: fix use-after-free in docg3_release()
Date: Fri,  1 May 2026 19:41:36 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501234136.4109063-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260501234136.4109063-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: James Kim <james010kim@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit ca19808bc6fac7e29420d8508df569b346b3e339 ]

In docg3_release(), the docg3 pointer is obtained from
cascade->floors[0]->priv before the loop that calls
doc_release_device() on each floor. doc_release_device() frees the
docg3 struct via kfree(docg3) at line 1881. After the loop,
docg3->cascade->bch dereferences the already-freed pointer.

Fix this by accessing cascade->bch directly, which is equivalent
since docg3->cascade points back to the same cascade struct, and
is already available as a local variable. This also removes the
now-unused docg3 local variable.

Fixes: c8ae3f744ddc ("lib/bch: Rework a little bit the exported function names")
