Subject: [PATCH v2] media: i2c: mt9p031: fix endpoint parsing use-after-free
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 18:07:25 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708123724.26707-2-birenpandya@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260613084849.57897-1-birenpandya@gmail.com>

The mt9p031_parse_properties() function calls fwnode_handle_put(np)
immediately after parsing the endpoint. However, it subsequently reads
the 'input-clock-frequency' and 'pixel-clock-frequency' properties
using the same 'np' handle, leading to a use-after-free.

Fix the use-after-free by reordering the property reads to occur before
the endpoint is parsed and freed. Additionally, utilize the
__free(fwnode_handle) scoped guard to automate the endpoint's lifecycle
management, preventing future leaks and simplifying the error paths.

Fixes: 8f2da25e85c1 ("media: i2c: mt9p031: Switch from OF to fwnode API")

 v2: reworded as the UAF fix it is; added Fixes/Cc stable; moved property reads before parse (Sakari); adopted __free (Laurent).
