[PATCH 4.14 52/52] dvb_frontend: dont use-after-free the frontend struct

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 15 2017 - 04:59:30 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b1cb7372fa822af6c06c8045963571d13ad6348b upstream.

dvb_frontend_invoke_release() may free the frontend struct.
So, the free logic can't update it anymore after calling it.

That's OK, as __dvb_frontend_free() is called only when the
krefs are zeroed, so nobody is using it anymore.

That should fix the following KASAN error:

The KASAN report looks like this (running on kernel 3e0cc09a3a2c40ec1ffb6b4e12da86e98feccb11 (4.14-rc5+)):
