This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled HID: intel-ish-hid: ipc: Fix potential use-after-free in work function to the 6.1-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: hid-intel-ish-hid-ipc-fix-potential-use-after-free-i.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f67833862dfc776df4fc61b74cdc00bfb74b358b Author: Reka Norman <rekanorman@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Feb 27 13:49:38 2023 +1100 HID: intel-ish-hid: ipc: Fix potential use-after-free in work function [ Upstream commit 8ae2f2b0a28416ed2f6d8478ac8b9f7862f36785 ] When a reset notify IPC message is received, the ISR schedules a work function and passes the ISHTP device to it via a global pointer ishtp_dev. If ish_probe() fails, the devm-managed device resources including ishtp_dev are freed, but the work is not cancelled, causing a use-after-free when the work function tries to access ishtp_dev. Use devm_work_autocancel() instead, so that the work is automatically cancelled if probe fails.
