Subject: [PATCH 2/3] media: em28xx: clear v4l2_dev.mdev on media device unregister
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 02:48:59 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022194901.14302-2-neganhat@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261022194901.14302-1-neganhat@gmail.com>

em28xx_unregister_media_device() frees dev->media_dev, but leaves
v4l2_dev.mdev holding a dangling pointer to the freed allocation.

When a process closes a video node after disconnect, v4l2_release() calls
v4l2_device_supports_requests(), dereferencing v4l2_dev.mdev and causing a
KASAN slab-use-after-free read.

Fix this by setting v4l2_dev.mdev to NULL in em28xx_unregister_media_device()
prior to calling kfree(dev->media_dev).
