Subject: [PATCH] media: v4l2-core: Fix Use-After-Free in v4l2_subdev_get_fwnode_pad_1_to_1
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 14:55:16 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616092516.46339-1-birenpandya@gmail.com> (raw)
v4l2_subdev_get_fwnode_pad_1_to_1() drops the fwnode reference via
fwnode_handle_put() before passing it to device_match_fwnode(). This
creates a Use-After-Free vulnerability. If the freed memory is instantly
reallocated by SLUB, the pointer comparison could accidentally match
the wrong pad or trigger a KASAN panic.
Fix this by using the __free(fwnode_handle) scoped guard. This safely
binds the fwnode lifecycle to the function scope, holding the reference
during the match and releasing it automatically upon return.
