[PATCH 4.4 29/88] net: hisilicon: remove unexpected free_netdev

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit c758940158bf29fe14e9d0f89d5848f227b48134 ]

The net device ndev is freed via free_netdev when failing to register
the device. The control flow then jumps to the error handling code
block. ndev is used and freed again. Resulting in a use-after-free bug.
