[PATCH 4.14 062/229] i2c: Fix a potential use after free

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

 



From: Xu Wang <vulab@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e4c72c06c367758a14f227c847f9d623f1994ecf ]

Free the adap structure only after we are done using it.
This patch just moves the put_device() down a bit to avoid the
use after free.

Fixes: 611e12ea0f12 ("i2c: core: manage i2c bus device refcount in i2c_[get|put]_adapter")
