[PATCH 4.4 46/79] USB: chaoskey: fix use-after-free on release

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 16 2019 - 18:19:47 EST


From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 93ddb1f56ae102f14f9e46a9a9c8017faa970003 upstream.

The driver was accessing its struct usb_interface in its release()
callback without holding a reference. This would lead to a
use-after-free whenever the device was disconnected while the character
device was still open.

Fixes: 66e3e591891d ("usb: Add driver for Altus Metrum ChaosKey device (v2)")
