From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 329101244f214952606359d254ae883b7109e1a5 ] The problem is in gb_lights_request_handler(). If we get a request to change the config then we release the light with gb_lights_light_release() and re-allocated it. However, if the allocation fails part way through then we call gb_lights_light_release() again. This can lead to a couple different double frees where we haven't cleared out the original values: gb_lights_light_v4l2_unregister(light); ... kfree(light->channels); kfree(light->name); I also made a small change to how we set "light->channels_count = 0;". The original code handled this part fine and did not cause a use after free but it was sort of complicated to read.
