From: Dafna Hirschfeld <dafna.hirschfeld@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6990570f7e0a6078e11b9c5dc13f4b6e3f49a398 upstream. sd->devnode is released after calling v4l2_subdev_release. Therefore it should be set to NULL so that the subdev won't hold a pointer to a released object. This fixes a reference after free bug in function v4l2_device_unregister_subdev Fixes: 0e43734d4c46e ("media: v4l2-subdev: add release() internal op") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Dafna Hirschfeld <dafna.hirschfeld@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-device.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) --- a/drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-device.c +++ b/drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-device.c @@ -179,6 +179,7 @@ static void v4l2_subdev_release(struct v if (sd->internal_ops && sd->internal_ops->release) sd->internal_ops->release(sd); + sd->devnode = NULL; module_put(owner); }
