Subject: [PATCH] b43: rfkill use after free
Date: Sun, 13 Jan 2008 16:20:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1200259252.4393.22.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

inside b43_rfkill_exit() we call rfkill_unregister() which puts the last
reference and frees the rfkill struct.  Then just 3 lines later the code
explicitly calls rfkill_free() on the struct we already freed.  This
showed up as slub corruption (what should have been 6b was showing up as
6a) since the rfkill_free had dec'ed the are that should have been the
use counter.

stop using the already freed rfkill struct.
