Subject: [PATCH] media: msi2500: fix UAF in the msi2500_disconnect

In msi2500_probe, it invokes spi_alloc_master to allocate master
controller and spi_register_master to register master controller.
Then in msi2500_disconnect, it calls spi_unregister_master to unregister
the master controller. And in spi_unregister_master, it calls put_device
to decrease the refcount and the device object will be freed then. As a
result, the dereference of dev->lock will cause a use-after-free bug.

Fix it by changing spi_alloc_master to devm_spi_alloc_master, and
removing spi_master_put in the error handling code.

Note that this patch can prevent UAF occurring any more

We had some bad past experiences on using devm_* on USB media devices,
as there are almost always multiple drivers loaded and multiple
interfaces.

Could you please fix the free logic instead of using devm_*?

Mauro

Hi Mauro,

When I resume working on this patch, I found this UAF bug is already
fixed in the spi part and merged to the upstream.

The correct fix is spi: fix use-after-free of the add_lock mutex [1].
So let's forget this patch.
