From: Yi Cong <[email protected]> This small series fixes four memory-safety / resource-management bugs in the rtl8723bs SDIO staging driver. v3: - Add tag "Assisted-by" for each patch. v2: - Remove some redundant comments in patch 2 and patch 3. v1: - https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ All four are tagged: Fixes: 554c0a3abf21 ("staging: Add rtl8723bs sdio wifi driver") 1/4 - kfree() used on a vzalloc() allocation (HalData) in the probe error path. 2/4 - double free / UAF when register_netdev() fails: the error label frees objects that the caller also frees. 3/4 - NULL deref in c2h_wk_callback() when the re-read allocation under memory pressure fails. 4/4 - NULL deref on a bcmc station lookup in the 802.11 defrag path, reachable from a fragment with an unknown transmitter address. Yi Cong (4): staging: rtl8723bs: free HalData with vfree, not kfree staging: rtl8723bs: fix double free when register_netdev() fails staging: rtl8723bs: fix NULL deref in c2h_wk_callback() on alloc failure staging: rtl8723bs: fix NULL deref on bcmc station lookup in defrag path drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_cmd.c | 3 ++- drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_recv.c | 5 ++++- drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/os_dep/os_intfs.c | 14 ++------------ drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/os_dep/sdio_intf.c | 2 +- 4 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) -- 2.25.1
