From 704936a25bda9bb12e35bb222d5e3f26186dc279 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luiz Fernando Capitulino <lcapitulino@mandriva.com.br> Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 22:34:17 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [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. Signed-off-by: Luiz Fernando N.
