Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 7 18:42:36 2022 +0100 ACPICA: Fix error code path in acpi_ds_call_control_method() [ Upstream commit 404ec60438add1afadaffaed34bb5fe4ddcadd40 ] A use-after-free in acpi_ps_parse_aml() after a failing invocaion of acpi_ds_call_control_method() is reported by KASAN [1] and code inspection reveals that next_walk_state pushed to the thread by acpi_ds_create_walk_state() is freed on errors, but it is not popped from the thread beforehand. Thus acpi_ds_get_current_walk_state() called by acpi_ps_parse_aml() subsequently returns it as the new walk state which is incorrect. To address this, make acpi_ds_call_control_method() call acpi_ds_pop_walk_state() to pop next_walk_state from the thread before returning an error.
