6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 166fcf86cd34e15c7f383eda4642d7a212393008 ] The object "ax25_dev" is managed by reference counting. Thus it should not be directly released by kfree(), replace with ax25_dev_put(). Fixes: d01ffb9eee4a ("ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to avoid UAF bugs") Suggested-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Duoming Zhou <duoming@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240530051733.11416-1-duoming@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- net/ax25/ax25_dev.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/ax25/ax25_dev.c b/net/ax25/ax25_dev.c index fcc64645bbf5e..e165fe108bb00 100644 --- a/net/ax25/ax25_dev.c +++ b/net/ax25/ax25_dev.c @@ -193,7 +193,7 @@ void __exit ax25_dev_free(void) list_for_each_entry_safe(s, n, &ax25_dev_list, list) { netdev_put(s->dev, &s->dev_tracker); list_del(&s->list); - kfree(s); + ax25_dev_put(s); } spin_unlock_bh(&ax25_dev_lock); } -- 2.43.0
