[PATCH 4.4 14/38] ethernet: ucc_geth: fix use-after-free in ucc_geth_remove()

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

 



From: Rasmus Villemoes <rasmus.villemoes@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e925e0cd2a705aaacb0b907bb3691fcac3a973a4 ]

ugeth is the netdiv_priv() part of the netdevice. Accessing the memory
pointed to by ugeth (such as done by ucc_geth_memclean() and the two
of_node_puts) after free_netdev() is thus use-after-free.
