Subject: [PATCH 1/2] media: chips-media: wave5: Release m2m_ctx after Instance Removed from List
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2026 13:45:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260402184554.1751445-1-b-brnich@ti.com> (raw)
Possible use after free if IRQ thread manages to obtain spinlock between
m2m_ctx release and wave5_release function removing stream instance from
list of active instances. The IRQ thread looks for the m2m_ctx which is
freed so null pointer dereference occurs.
