Subject: [PATCH v2] dpf: fix UAF and double free in idpf_plug_vport_aux_dev() error path
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 19:20:30 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413112030.2694563-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)
If auxiliary_device_add() fails, idpf_plug_vport_aux_dev() calls
auxiliary_device_uninit(adev), whose release callback
idpf_vport_adev_release() frees the containing
struct iidc_rdma_vport_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.
The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.
Fix it by storing the allocated auxiliary device id in a local
variable and avoiding direct freeing of iadev after
auxiliary_device_uninit().
Fixes: be91128c579c ("idpf: implement RDMA vport auxiliary dev create, init, and destroy")
