The "open_info" variable is added to the &vmbus_connection.chn_msg_list, but the error handling frees "open_info" without removing it from the list. This will result in a use after free. First remove it from the list, and then free it.

Untested etc. There is almost certainly a good reason to add it to the list before checking "newchannel->rescind" but I don't know the code well enough to know what the reason is. drivers/hv/channel.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/hv/channel.c b/drivers/hv/channel.c index db30be8f9cce..1c5a418c1962 100644 --- a/drivers/hv/channel.c +++ b/drivers/hv/channel.c @@ -653,7 +653,7 @@ static int __vmbus_open(struct vmbus_channel *newchannel, if (newchannel->rescind) { err = -ENODEV; - goto error_free_info; + goto error_clean_msglist; } err = vmbus_post_msg(open_msg, -- 2.30.2
