Subject: [PPATCH net v3] net: mana: fix use-after-free in add_adev() error path
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:57:30 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323165730.945365-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)
If auxiliary_device_add() fails, add_adev() jumps to add_fail and calls
auxiliary_device_uninit(adev).
The auxiliary device has its release callback set to adev_release(),
which frees the containing struct mana_adev. Since adev is embedded in
struct mana_adev, the subsequent fall-through to init_fail and access
to adev->id may result in a use-after-free.
Fix this by saving the allocated auxiliary device id in a local
variable before calling auxiliary_device_add(), and use that saved id
in the cleanup path after auxiliary_device_uninit().
Fixes: a69839d4327d ("net: mana: Add support for auxiliary device")

- explain the UAF in more detail
- retarget to net
- preserve reverse xmas tree order for local variables
v3:
- rebase onto the current net tree
