[ Upstream commit 1c20c89b0421b52b2417bb0f62a611bc669eda1d ]
composite_dev_cleanup call from the failure of configfs_composite_bind
frees up the cdev->os_desc_req and cdev->req. If the previous calls of
bind and unbind is successful these will carry stale values.
Consider the below sequence of function calls:
configfs_composite_bind()
composite_dev_prepare()
- Allocate cdev->req, cdev->req->buf
composite_os_desc_req_prepare()
- Allocate cdev->os_desc_req, cdev->os_desc_req->buf
configfs_composite_unbind()
composite_dev_cleanup()
- free the cdev->os_desc_req->buf and cdev->req->buf
Next composition switch
configfs_composite_bind()
- If it fails goto err_comp_cleanup will call the
composite_dev_cleanup() function
composite_dev_cleanup()
- calls kfree up with the stale values of cdev->req->buf and
cdev->os_desc_req from the previous configfs_composite_bind
call. The free call on these stale values leads to double free.
Hence, Fix this issue by setting request and buffer pointer to NULL after
kfree.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
