This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net:nfc:digital: Fix a double free in digital_tg_recv_dep_req to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-nfc-digital-fix-a-double-free-in-digital_tg_recv.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b664c98eeb66d2a81b9c48ceec9fd6446f951a33 Author: Lv Yunlong <lyl2019@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 27 09:22:58 2021 -0700 net:nfc:digital: Fix a double free in digital_tg_recv_dep_req [ Upstream commit 75258586793efc521e5dd52a5bf6c7a4cf7002be ] In digital_tg_recv_dep_req, it calls nfc_tm_data_received(..,resp). If nfc_tm_data_received() failed, the callee will free the resp via kfree_skb() and return error. But in the exit branch, the resp will be freed again. My patch sets resp to NULL if nfc_tm_data_received() failed, to avoid the double free.
