[PATCH][for-4.14] fbdev: imsttfb: Fix use after free bug in imsttfb_probe

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

 



Hi Greg,

below is the manual backport of an upstream patch to fix the build failure
in kernel v4.14 in imsttfb.c.

It's not sufficient to just return from init_imstt() as the kernel then
may crash later when it tries to access the non-existent framebuffer or
cmap. Instead return failure to imsttfb_probe() so that the kernel
will skip using that hardware/driver.

Can you please apply this patch to the v4.14 stable queue?

Thanks,
Helge

This is a manual backport of upstream patch c75f5a55061091030a13fef71b9995b89bc86213
to fix a build error in imsttfb.c in kernel v4.14.

A use-after-free bug may occur if init_imstt invokes framebuffer_release
and free the info ptr. The caller, imsttfb_probe didn't notice that and
still keep the ptr as private data in pdev.

If we remove the driver which will call imsttfb_remove to make cleanup,
UAF happens.

Fix it by return error code if bad case happens in init_imstt.
