This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sh: intc: Fix use-after-free bug in register_intc_controller() 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: sh-intc-fix-use-after-free-bug-in-register_intc_cont.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 eee499e60483cfd27606a8b7d27d4b0a0df021c2 Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 23 11:41:59 2024 +0300 sh: intc: Fix use-after-free bug in register_intc_controller() [ Upstream commit 63e72e551942642c48456a4134975136cdcb9b3c ] In the error handling for this function, d is freed without ever removing it from intc_list which would lead to a use after free. To fix this, let's only add it to the list after everything has succeeded.
