Subject: [PATCH] iio: envelope-detector: fix use-after-free on device remove
Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2019 15:32:46 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190310193246.31761-1-TheSven73@gmail.com> (raw)

This driver's remove path never explicitly cancels the
delayed work. So it is possible for the delayed work to
run after the core has freed the private structure
(struct envelope). This is a potential use-after-free.

Fix by adding a devm_add_action callback to the remove
path, called right after iio_device_unregister(), which
explicitly cancels the delayed work.

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
