[PATCH 4/5] USB: legousbtower: fix use-after-free on release

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

 



The driver was accessing its struct usb_device in its release()
callback without holding a reference. This would lead to a
use-after-free whenever the device was disconnected while the character
device was still open.
