This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mt76: mt7915: fix hwmon temp sensor mem use-after-free to the 5.14-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: mt76-mt7915-fix-hwmon-temp-sensor-mem-use-after-free.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 62faec51ddc0c508c499b722516023760f2607b8 Author: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 2 13:52:03 2021 +0800 mt76: mt7915: fix hwmon temp sensor mem use-after-free [ Upstream commit 0ae3ff5684514d72357240f1033a7494c51f93ed ] Without this change, garbage is seen in the hwmon name and sensors output for mt7915 is garbled. It appears that the hwmon logic does not make a copy of the incoming string, but instead just copies a char* and expects it to never go away.
