Subject: Re: [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix use-after-free in ncm_wrap_ntb()
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 22:08:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022140808.18287-1-yymhvert@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,
Both findings are real bugs, but both predate this patch; the
use-after-free fix itself is unaffected.
[High] ncm->netdev NULL dereference in the err: path: agreed, the
window exists -- ncm_disable() clears ncm->netdev locklessly, and
ncm_tx_timeout() already treats it as possibly NULL (READ_ONCE +
check). It additionally needs an alloc_skb() failure inside that
window, so the race is narrow. Pre-existing; a fix (guard the stats
update in the err: path, or move the clear after
gether_disconnect()) can be sent separately and does not block this
patch.
[Medium] skb2 leak in the err: path: agreed, also pre-existing.
Since this patch already rewrites that block, I can fold
if (skb2)
dev_kfree_skb_any(skb2);
into a v2, or it can go as a separate follow-up -- whichever Greg
prefers.
Thanks,
Boyan
