snd_soc_init_platform initializes pointers to snd_soc_dai_link which is statically allocated and it does this by devm_kzalloc. In the event of an EPROBE_DEFER the memory will be freed and the pointers are left dangling. snd_soc_init_platform sees the dangling pointers and assumes they are pointing to initialized memory and does not reallocate them on the second probe attempt which results in a use after free bug since devm has freed the memory from the first probe attempt. Since the intention for snd_soc_dai_link->platform is that it can be set statically by the machine driver we need to respect the pointer in the event we did not set it but still catch dangling pointers. The solution is to add a flag to track whether the pointer was dynamically allocated or not. Signed-off-by: Curtis Malainey <cujomalainey@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
