Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_uac2: fix memory leak in sample rate store
Date: Sun,  2 Aug 2026 02:58:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260802005810.92953-1-rwarwatkar@gmail.com> (raw)

f_uac2_opts_{p,c}_srate_store() duplicate the input page with kstrdup()
and then tokenize it with strsep(&split_page, ","). strsep() advances
the pointer it is given, so by the time the parsing loop finishes
split_page points at the end of the string (or NULL). The subsequent
kfree(split_page) therefore frees the wrong pointer (NULL when the
whole buffer was consumed), leaking the buffer allocated by kstrdup():

  BUG: memory leak
  unreferenced object 0xffff888112a01e00 (size 64):
    kstrdup
    f_uac2_opts_c_srate_store
    configfs_write_iter
    vfs_write
    ksys_write

Keep the original allocation in split_page and hand a separate iterator
to strsep(), so the buffer is always freed. While at it, handle a
kstrdup() failure instead of dereferencing NULL. Both the p_srate and
c_srate attributes use the same macro and are fixed together.

Fixes: a7339e4f5788 ("usb: gadget: f_uac2: Support multiple sampling rates")
