Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] rpmsg: char: Fix use-after-free on probe error path
Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2026 09:40:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260704134026.903689-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026070228-dwelled-nurture-5733@gregkh>
From: Yuho Choi <dbgh9129@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 1ff3f528e67d20e2b1483dcaba899dc7832b2e6b ]
rpmsg_chrdev_probe() stores the newly allocated eptdev in the default
endpoint's priv pointer before calling rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add(). If
rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() then fails, its error path frees eptdev while
the default endpoint may still dispatch callbacks with the stale priv
pointer.
Avoid publishing eptdev through the default endpoint until
rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() succeeds. Messages received before the priv
pointer is published should be ignored by rpmsg_ept_cb(). Flow-control
updates can hit rpmsg_ept_flow_cb() in the same window, so make both
callbacks return success when priv is NULL.
Fixes: bc69d1066569 ("rpmsg: char: Introduce the "rpmsg-raw" channel")
