Subject: [PATCH] idpf: fix UAF and double free in idpf_plug_core_aux_dev() error path
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 23:52:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318155220.642160-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)

If auxiliary_device_add() fails, idpf_plug_core_aux_dev() calls
auxiliary_device_uninit(adev), whose release callback
idpf_core_adev_release() frees the containing
struct iidc_rdma_core_auxiliary_dev.

The current error path then accesses adev->id and later frees iadev
again, which may lead to a use-after-free and double free.

Fix it by storing the allocated auxiliary device id in a local
variable and avoiding direct freeing of iadev after
auxiliary_device_uninit().

Fixes: f4312e6bfa2a ("idpf: implement core RDMA auxiliary dev create, init, and destroy")
