[PATCH 4.19 39/81] USB: legousbtower: fix use-after-free on release

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

 



From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 726b55d0e22ca72c69c947af87785c830289ddbc upstream.

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.

Fixes: fef526cae700 ("USB: legousbtower: remove custom debug macro")
