[PATCH] drivers:media:i2c:ov02a10.c: fix a potential use-after-put bug

From: Wentao_Liang
Date: Thu Aug 19 2021 - 10:13:12 EST


In line 825 (#1), "fwnode_handle_put(ep);" drops the reference to ep
and may cause ep to be released. However, ep is subsequently used in
lines 831 (#3) by "ret = fwnode_property_read_u32(ep, "ovti,mipi-clock-
voltage", &clk_volt);". This may result in an use-after-put bug.

It can be fixed by removing "fwnode_handle_put(ep);" in line 825 (#1)
and call it respectively before the function returns (line 827, #2) and
after ep has been used again (line 831, #3).

806 static int ov02a10_check_hwcfg(struct device *dev,
struct ov02a10 *ov02a10)
807 {
...
825 fwnode_handle_put(ep); //#1 Memory can be released.
826 if (ret)
827 return ret;
//#2 One of the branch ways ends here.
// Function returns.

...
830 ret = fwnode_property_read_u32(ep, "ovti,mipi-clock-voltage",
831 &clk_volt);
//#3 Use of memory after it may be freed.
...
853 return ret;
854 }
