[PATCH] sh: intc: use after free in register_intc_controller()
Posted by Dan Carpenter 1 year, 3 months ago
In the error handling, for this function, we kfree(d) without ever
removing it from the &intc_list which would lead to a use after free.  To
fix this, lets only add it to the list after everything has succeeded.

Fixes: 2dcec7a988a1 ("sh: intc: set_irq_wake() support")

This patch is highly speculative and I am not able to test it.  Please,
review with care.

I think this approach is more sensible than the one suggested by Ridong Chen
and I'm therefor egoing to pick this one over the other solution.
