Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: dw-edma: Fix use after free in dw_edma_alloc_chunk()
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2020 14:56:52 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <X9dTBFrUPEvvW7qc@mwanda> (raw)
If the dw_edma_alloc_burst() function fails then we free "chunk" but
it's still on the "desc->chunk->list" list so it will lead to a use
after free. Also the "->chunks_alloc" count is incremented when it
shouldn't be.
In current kernels small allocations are guaranteed to succeed and
dw_edma_alloc_burst() can't fail so this will not actually affect
runtime.
Fixes: e63d79d1ffcd ("dmaengine: Add Synopsys eDMA IP core driver")
