Subject: [PATCH v3 4/8] HID: asus: cleanup keyboard listener on failure: avoid use-after-free
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2026 15:30:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260613153029.2559774-5-denis.benato@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260613153029.2559774-1-denis.benato@linux.dev>
asus_kbd_register_leds(), I noticed it registers a listener to a global list
and uses devm_kzalloc(). If a subsequent initialization step in asus_probe()
fails the driver returns without unregistering the listener, and the devres
subsystem will automatically free the memory, leaving a dangling pointer
in the global list.
Fixes: b34b5945a769 ("HID: asus: listen to the asus-wmi brightness device instead of creating one")
