This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: dvb-core: Fix use-after-free due to race condition at dvb_ca_en50221 to the 4.19-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-dvb-core-fix-use-after-free-due-to-race-condit.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a08a352445611628a7fb9bbdc3ebf8c8766290e3 Author: Hyunwoo Kim <v4bel@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 21 06:33:08 2022 +0000 media: dvb-core: Fix use-after-free due to race condition at dvb_ca_en50221 [ Upstream commit 280a8ab81733da8bc442253c700a52c4c0886ffd ] If the device node of dvb_ca_en50221 is open() and the device is disconnected, a UAF may occur when calling close() on the device node. The root cause is that wake_up() and wait_event() for dvbdev->wait_queue are not implemented. So implement wait_event() function in dvb_ca_en50221_release() and add 'remove_mutex' which prevents race condition for 'ca->exit'.
