Subject: [PATCH] usbserial: Fixes use-after-free in serial_open().
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=704936a25bda9bb12e35bb222d5e3f26186dc279;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] usbserial: Fixes use-after-free in serial_open().

If the device is disconnected while serial_open() is executing and
either try_module_get() or the device specific open function fails, the
kref_put() call in the 'bailout_kref_put' label will free the memory
pointed out by 'port'.

The subsequent dereferences in the 'bailout_kref_put' label will be
invalid.

The fix is just to assure kref_put() is called after any 'port' usage.
