Re: [PATCH net-next] can: sja1000: fix use after free in ems_pcmcia_add_card()

Hello Dan,

On 22.11.21 08:56, Dan Carpenter wrote:
In the original code if ems_pcmcia_check_chan() returned false then
it called free_sja1000dev(dev) but did not set the error code or jump
to the clean up code.  This frees "dev" and leads to a use after free.

I flipped the ems_pcmcia_check_chan() check around to make the error
handling more consistent and readable.  That lets us pull the rest of
the code in one tab.

Fixes: fd734c6f25ae ("can/sja1000: add driver for EMS PCMCIA card")

I do not think, that you are fixing something here.

The loop

for (i = 0; i < EMS_PCMCIA_MAX_CHAN; i++) { ...

checks with

if (ems_pcmcia_check_chan(priv))

whether this channel is 'available' or not.

As this hardware could come with only ONE channel it is just wrong to tag a missing channel as error and finally kill the entire setup process (including the potentially working channel we already initialized).

So thanks for the patch but NACK ;-)

Best regards,
Oliver
