Subject: [PATCH] mtd: docg3: fix use-after-free in docg3_release()
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2026 15:05:12 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309060512.3634570-1-james010kim@gmail.com> (raw)

In docg3_release(), the docg3 pointer is obtained from
cascade->floors[0]->priv before the loop that calls
doc_release_device() on each floor. doc_release_device() frees the
docg3 struct via kfree(docg3) at line 1881. After the loop,
docg3->cascade->bch dereferences the already-freed pointer.

Fix this by accessing cascade->bch directly, which is equivalent
since docg3->cascade points back to the same cascade struct, and
is already available as a local variable. This also removes the
now-unused docg3 local variable.

Fixes: c8ae3f744ddc ("lib/bch: Rework a little bit the exported function names")
