In the error path in acpi_ps_parse_aml():

     acpi_ds_call_control_method()
         acpi_ds_create_walk_state()
             acpi_ds_push_walk_state()
             # thread->walk_state_list = walk_state

         acpi_ds_init_aml_walk # *fail*
         goto cleanup:
         acpi_ds_delete_walk_state() # ACPI_FREE(walk_state)

     acpi_ds_method_error()
         acpi_ds_dump_method_stack()
         # using freed thread->walk_state_list

Briefly, the walk_state is pushed to thread, and freed without being poped.
Then it is used in acpi_ds_dump_method_stack() and causes use-after-free.

Add acpi_ds_pop_walk_state(thread) to the error path to fix the problem.

This should be submitted to the upstream project on GitHub, but it
looks bad enough, so I'll take care of this.

Applied as 6.1-rc material, thanks!

On second thought, though, should it be popped before deleting?
Otherwise it looks like there will be still use-after-free, because
acpi_ds_pop_walk_state() accesses the walk_state at the top of the
queue.

You are right it is wrong and sorry I didn't notice that.

I have reproduced same problem on current tree... Have no idea why I missed it before.


I noticed that this patch have been on next-tree so I submitted another one to fix it.

See "ACPICA: Fix pop_walk_state called after walk_state is deleted"


Thanks for your time!

Best,

Chen

Moreover, it is not correct to pop the walk state if next_walk_state
is NULL AFAICS.

I'm dropping this one.


         return_ACPI_STATUS(status);

Bob, this looks correct to me, but I may be missing something in which
case please let me know.
