Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] media: i2c: ov02c10: Fix use-after-free in remove function
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 23:04:42 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260126173444.10228-2-bjsaikiran@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260126173444.10228-1-bjsaikiran@gmail.com>

The ov02c10_remove() function has a race condition where v4l2_ctrl_handler
and media_entity resources are freed before the device is powered off.
If userspace (e.g., PipeWire/WirePlumber) accesses the device during
removal, this causes a use-after-free leading to kernel oops with
"Execute from non-executable memory" errors.

The issue occurs because:
1. v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() is called first
2. Userspace may still have the device open
3. Control access triggers use-after-free
4. Device is powered off afterwards (too late)

Fix by reordering cleanup to disable runtime PM and power off the device
BEFORE freeing v4l2_ctrl_handler and media_entity resources. This ensures
the device is in a safe state before any resources are freed.

Call sequence after fix:
1. v4l2_async_unregister_subdev() - unregister from V4L2
2. pm_runtime_disable() - disable runtime PM
3. ov02c10_power_off() - power off device if needed
4. v4l2_subdev_cleanup() - clean up subdev
5. media_entity_cleanup() - clean up media entity
6. v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() - free control handler (safe now)

Tested-on: Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x (Snapdragon X Elite)
Fixes: 44f8901 ("media: i2c: add OmniVision OV02C10 sensor driver")
