Subject: [PATCH 1/2] media: redrat3: unregister the rc device when probe fails
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 00:07:11 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925170711.22447-1-ngocthang2710.1999@gmail.com> (raw)

redrat3_dev_probe() registers the rc device, whose input device points
its name and phys at strings embedded in struct redrat3_dev, and only
then calls redrat3_enable_detector(). If that fails, the error path
frees rr3 but leaves the rc device registered and leaks it. Reading its
"uevent" attribute afterwards dereferences the freed name/phys:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in string+0x4a9/0x4f0
  Read of size 1 at addr ffff8880272bf758 by task repro/4968
   add_uevent_var+0x183/0x3a0
   input_dev_uevent+0x162/0x900
   dev_uevent+0x2f1/0x870
   uevent_show+0x1ca/0x3a0
   ...

Unregister and free the rc device on that path, mirroring
redrat3_dev_disconnect(): stop the URBs first, since their handlers use
the rc device, and only then unregister it.

Reproduced with a raw-gadget RedRat3 that reports detector status 0.
