Subject: [patch] i2c: dev: use after free in detach
Date: Sat, 28 May 2016 08:01:46 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160528050146.GC4107@mwanda> (raw)
The call to return_i2c_dev() frees "i2c_dev" so there is a use after
free when we call cdev_del(&i2c_dev->cdev).
Fixes: d6760b14d4a1 ('i2c: dev: switch from register_chrdev to cdev API')
