Subject: [PATCH 6.19.y] net: mana: fix use-after-free in add_adev() error path
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 12:00:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331160015.2677476-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026033040-marauding-puma-a849@gregkh>
From: Guangshuo Li <lgs201920130244@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit c4ea7d8907cf72b259bf70bd8c2e791e1c4ff70f ]
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")
