Subject: [PATCH] rapidio: mport_cdev: fix sequential UAF in dma_req_free()
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 13:08:22 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220040821.3511683-1-james010kim@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
Resending this patch to the proper list(s). No changes since the original submission.
dma_req_free() drops the mapping reference under buf_mutex and then
dereferences req->map again to unlock the mutex.
If kref_put() drops the last reference, mport_release_mapping() frees
the mapping, and the subsequent mutex_unlock() dereferences a freed
object. This is a sequential (non-racy) use-after-free.
Fix this by caching map and md before kref_put() and using the cached
md for mutex unlocking.
Fixes: 4b0986a36 ("rapidio: add mport character device support")
