Subject: [PATCH v1] ACPI: utils: Fix error path in acpi_evaluate_reference()
Date: Thu, 07 Dec 2023 19:28:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12343148.O9o76ZdvQC@kreacher> (raw)

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

If a pointer to an uninitialized struct acpi_handle_list is passed to
acpi_evaluate_reference() and it decides to bail out early, either
because acpi_evaluate_object() fails, or because it produces invalid
data, the handles pointer from the struct acpi_handle_list will be
passed to kfree() and if it is not NULL, the kernel will crash.

Address this by moving the "end" label in acpi_evaluate_reference() to
the end of the function, which is sufficient, because no cleanup is
needed in that case.

Fixes: 2e57d10a6591 ("ACPI: utils: Dynamically determine acpi_handle_list size")
