[PATCH 5.10 173/317] stm class: Fix a double free in stm_register_device()

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

 



5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3df463865ba42b8f88a590326f4c9ea17a1ce459 ]

The put_device(&stm->dev) call will trigger stm_device_release() which
frees "stm" so the vfree(stm) on the next line is a double free.

Fixes: 389b6699a2aa ("stm class: Fix stm device initialization order")
