Subject: [PATCH] media: dvb-core: Fix UAF in dvb_ca_en50221_io_release()
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 16:47:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805204704.3789917-1-shuangpeng.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)

dvb_ca_en50221_io_release() drops the open file's reference to ca
before testing ca->exit and unlocking ca->remove_mutex.

If dvb_ca_en50221_release() concurrently drops the initial
reference, the close path's put can be the final one and free ca. The
following ca->exit access and mutex_unlock() then operate on freed
memory.

Keep the close path's reference until it has finished accessing ca
and released remove_mutex. The reference also keeps ca->dvbdev alive
while the wake-up condition is handled.

Fixes: 280a8ab81733 ("media: dvb-core: Fix use-after-free due to race condition at dvb_ca_en50221")
