Subject: [PATCH] usbip: stub: keep URB array state consistent on errors
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 16:39:26 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912083925.587987-2-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
stub_priv_alloc() links a zeroed stub_priv to priv_init before the URB
array is allocated. The error handler may therefore consume the object
after stub_recv_cmd_submit() reports SDEV_EVENT_ERROR_MALLOC.
Do not publish num_urbs until the array exists. If a later URB allocation
fails, clear the freed array pointer and count before the event handler can
walk them. This prevents a NULL dereference on array-allocation failure
and freed-array reads that can lead to invalid URB use or a double free on
later failures.
Fixes: ea44d190764b ("usbip: Implement SG support to vhci-hcd and stub driver")
