Subject: [PATCH] peci: cpu: Fix use-after-free in adev_release()
Date: Tue,  5 Jul 2022 12:15:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220705101501.298395-1-iwona.winiarska@intel.com> (raw)

When auxiliary_device_add() returns an error, auxiliary_device_uninit()
is called, which causes refcount for device to be decremented and
.release callback will be triggered.

Because adev_release() re-calls auxiliary_device_uninit(), it will cause
use-after-free:
[ 1269.455172] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 14267 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0x110/0x15
[ 1269.464007] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
