Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
can: peak_usb: peak_usb_start(): fix double free of transfer buffer on URB submit error<br />
<br />
In peak_usb_start(), each RX URB transfer buffer is allocated with kmalloc()<br />
and the URB is flagged URB_FREE_BUFFER so that the final usb_free_urb() also<br />
frees the transfer buffer.<br />
<br />
If usb_submit_urb() fails, the error path frees the buffer explicitly with<br />
kfree(buf) and then calls usb_free_urb(urb). Because URB_FREE_BUFFER is set,<br />
usb_free_urb() -> urb_destroy() frees the same buffer a second time, a double<br />
free of the transfer buffer.<br />
<br />
BUG: KASAN: double-free in usb_free_urb.part.0+0x91/0xb0<br />
Free of addr ffff8881069ccb80 by task trigger.sh/285<br />
<br />
Call Trace:<br />
kfree+0x113/0x3c0<br />
usb_free_urb.part.0+0x91/0xb0<br />
<br />
Drop the redundant kfree(buf); usb_free_urb() already releases the transfer<br />
buffer. This mirrors commit 03819abbeb11 ("net: usb: lan78xx: Fix double free<br />
issue with interrupt buffer allocation").
