This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: dvbdev: adopts refcnt to avoid UAF to the 5.15-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: media-dvbdev-adopts-refcnt-to-avoid-uaf.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8b472a53318d331865138fb1019ca0192deb2f58 Author: Lin Ma <linma@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Aug 7 15:59:52 2022 +0100 media: dvbdev: adopts refcnt to avoid UAF [ Upstream commit 0fc044b2b5e2d05a1fa1fb0d7f270367a7855d79 ] dvb_unregister_device() is known that prone to use-after-free. That is, the cleanup from dvb_unregister_device() releases the dvb_device even if there are pointers stored in file->private_data still refer to it. This patch adds a reference counter into struct dvb_device and delays its deallocation until no pointer refers to the object.
