Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] rpmsg: char: Fix UAF and memory leak in rpmsg_anonymous_eptdev_create()
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 23:39:08 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251113153909.3789-3-dawei.li@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251113153909.3789-1-dawei.li@linux.dev>

Potential UAF and memory leak exsit in exception handling paths for
rpmsg_anonymous_eptdev_create(), fix them.

- If rpmsg_add_eptdev() failes, eptdev is freed in it.
  Subsequent call of dev_err(&eptdev->device) triggers a UAF.
- If __rpmsg_eptdev_open() fails, eptdev is supposed to be freed by
  put_device().

Fixes: 2410558f5f11 ("rpmsg: char: Implement eptdev based on anonymous inode")
Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aPi6gPZE2_ztOjIW@stanley.mountain/
