Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] staging: rtl8723bs: fix several memory-safety bugs
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 13:59:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730060000.1944670-1-cong.yi@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Yi Cong <yicong@kylinos.cn>
This small series fixes four memory-safety / resource-management bugs in
the rtl8723bs SDIO staging driver.
v2:
- Remove some redundant comments in patch 2 and patch 3.
v1:
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260729022509.2863634-1-cong.yi@linux.dev/
All four are tagged:
Fixes: 554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver")
1/4 - kfree() used on a vzalloc() allocation (HalData) in the probe
error path.
2/4 - double free / UAF when register_netdev() fails: the error label
frees objects that the caller also frees.
3/4 - NULL deref in c2h_wk_callback() when the re-read allocation under
memory pressure fails.
4/4 - NULL deref on a bcmc station lookup in the 802.11 defrag path,
reachable from a fragment with an unknown transmitter address.
Yi Cong (4):
