Subject: [PATCH v2] wifi: at76c50x: fix use after free access in at76_disconnect
Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2025 16:01:10 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250330103110.44080-1-abdun.nihaal@gmail.com> (raw)
The memory pointed to by priv is freed at the end of at76_delete_device
function (using ieee80211_free_hw). But the code then accesses the udev
field of the freed object to put the USB device. This may also lead to a
memory leak of the usb device. Fix this by using udev from interface.
Fixes: 29e20aa6c6af ("at76c50x-usb: fix use after free on failure path in at76_probe()")
