Subject: [PATCH v5 02/20] media: rc: Ensure that rc_unregister_device() does not free input device
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 09:32:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <21f237a3987b33ff532a23b14b6aa6ac60d0d0f3.1789460680.git.sean@mess.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1789460680.git.sean@mess.org>
During or after rc_unregister_device(), IR may still be reported which
results in a input event being reported. This could result in a null
pointer deref in rc_keydown() or a use-after-free of the input device if
the pointer was read before it is set to NULL.
Fixes: dccc0c3ddf8f ("media: rc: fix race between unregister and urb/irq callbacks")
