*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
staging: media: ipu7: fix double-free and use-after-free in error paths<br />
<br />
In both ipu7_isys_init() and ipu7_psys_init(), pdata is allocated and<br />
then passed to ipu7_bus_initialize_device(), which stores it in<br />
adev->pdata. The ipu7_bus_release() function frees adev->pdata when the<br />
device&#39;s reference count drops to zero.<br />
<br />
Two error paths incorrectly call kfree(pdata) after the device teardown<br />
has already freed it:<br />
<br />
1. When ipu7_mmu_init() fails: put_device() is called, which drops the<br />
reference count to zero and triggers ipu7_bus_release() -><br />
kfree(pdata). The subsequent kfree(pdata) is a double-free.<br />
<br />
2. When ipu7_bus_add_device() fails: it calls auxiliary_device_uninit()<br />
internally, which calls put_device() -> ipu7_bus_release() -><br />
kfree(pdata). The subsequent kfree(pdata) is again a double-free.<br />
<br />
Note that the kfree(pdata) when ipu7_bus_initialize_device() itself<br />
fails is correct, because in that case auxiliary_device_init() failed<br />
and the release function was never set up, so pdata must be freed<br />
manually.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the error code was not saved before calling put_device(),<br />
causing ERR_CAST() to dereference the already-freed adev pointer when<br />
constructing the return value. Fix this by saving the error from<br />
dev_err_probe() before put_device() and returning ERR_PTR() instead.<br />
<br />
Remove the redundant kfree(pdata) calls and fix the use-after-free in<br />
the return values of the two affected error paths.
