The free_device_compression_mode(iaa_device, device_mode) function frees "device_mode" but it iss passed to iaa_compression_modes[i]->free() a few lines later resulting in a use after free. The good news is that, so far as I can tell, nothing implements the ->free() function and the use after free happens in dead code. But, with this fix, when something does implement it, we'll be ready. :) Fixes: b190447e0fa3 ("crypto: iaa - Add compression mode management along with fixed mode") Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/crypto/intel/iaa/iaa_crypto_main.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/crypto/intel/iaa/iaa_crypto_main.c b/drivers/crypto/intel/iaa/iaa_crypto_main.c index e810d286ee8c..237f87000070 100644 --- a/drivers/crypto/intel/iaa/iaa_crypto_main.c +++ b/drivers/crypto/intel/iaa/iaa_crypto_main.c @@ -495,10 +495,10 @@ static void remove_device_compression_modes(struct iaa_device *iaa_device) if (!device_mode) continue; - free_device_compression_mode(iaa_device, device_mode); - iaa_device->compression_modes[i] = NULL; if (iaa_compression_modes[i]->free) iaa_compression_modes[i]->free(device_mode); + free_device_compression_mode(iaa_device, device_mode); + iaa_device->compression_modes[i] = NULL; } } -- 2.43.0
