[PATCH] mfd: core: fix UAF while using device of node
Posted by Yang Yingliang 3 years, 4 months ago
I got the following UAF report:

  refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 270 at lib/refcount.c:29 refcount_warn_saturate+0x121/0x180
  ...
  OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of -1073741824,
  of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry:
  attach overlay node /i2c/pmic@62/powerkey

The of_node of device assigned in mfd_match_of_node_to_dev() need be
get, and it will be put in platform_device_release().

Fixes: 002be8114007 ("mfd: core: Add missing of_node_put for loop iteration")

Looks okay, but I'm not applying it this late in the cycle.

Please wait until the next merge-window closes.
