Subject: [PATCH] aros/hostdisk: Fix use-after-free bug during MsgPort deletion
Date: Mon,  8 Dec 2025 15:51:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251208102129.705955-1-ssrish@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Inside grub_util_fd_open, a failure while creating an IO
request or opening a device frees ret (the fd) before its
MsgPort is deleted. This leads to a use-after-free scenario.

Fix this by freeing ret after its MsgPort has been deleted.
