[PATCH 4.4 49/72] media: usbtv: prevent double free in error case

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Apr 06 2018 - 10:54:11 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx>

commit 50e7044535537b2a54c7ab798cd34c7f6d900bd2 upstream.

Quoting the original report:

It looks like there is a double-free vulnerability in Linux usbtv driver
on an error path of usbtv_probe function. When audio registration fails,
usbtv_video_free function ends up freeing usbtv data structure, which
gets freed the second time under usbtv_video_fail label.

usbtv_audio_fail:

usbtv_video_free(usbtv); =>

v4l2_device_put(&usbtv->v4l2_dev);

=> v4l2_device_put

=> kref_put

=> v4l2_device_release

=> usbtv_release (CALLBACK)

=> kfree(usbtv) (1st time)

usbtv_video_fail:

usb_set_intfdata(intf, NULL);

usb_put_dev(usbtv->udev);

kfree(usbtv); (2nd time)

So, as we have refcounting, use it
