This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled driver: base: fix UAF when driver_attach failed to the 5.18-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: driver-base-fix-uaf-when-driver_attach-failed.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fde75261129a9ec589a739e5d51c6a8cf0abec2c Author: Schspa Shi <schspa@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri May 13 19:24:44 2022 +0800 driver: base: fix UAF when driver_attach failed [ Upstream commit 310862e574001a97ad02272bac0fd13f75f42a27 ] When driver_attach(drv); failed, the driver_private will be freed. But it has been added to the bus, which caused a UAF. To fix it, we need to delete it from the bus when failed.
