Subject: [PATCH] mwl8k: Fix UAF in mwl8k_fw_state_machine()
Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2021 04:02:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1634356979-6211-1-git-send-email-zheyuma97@gmail.com> (raw)
When the driver fails to request the firmware, it calls its error
handler. In the error handler, the driver detaches device from driver
first before releasing the firmware, which can cause a UAF bug.
Fix this by releasing firmware first.
The following log reveals it:
