From b07ac9894644202614ca87c69f3f45e424a82fef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Fainelli Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2017 22:05:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: Fix stale cpu_switch reference after unbind then bind Commit 9520ed8fb841 ("net: dsa: use cpu_switch instead of ds[0]") replaced the use of dst->ds[0] with dst->cpu_switch since that is functionally equivalent, however, we can now run into an use after free scenario after unbinding then rebinding the switch driver. The use after free happens because we do correctly initialize dst->cpu_switch the first time we probe in dsa_cpu_parse(), then we unbind the driver: dsa_dst_unapply() is called, and we rebind again. dst->cpu_switch now points to a freed "ds" structure, and so when we finally dereference it in dsa_cpu_port_ethtool_setup(), we oops. To fix this, simply set dst->cpu_switch to NULL in dsa_dst_unapply() which guarantees that we always correctly re-assign dst->cpu_switch in dsa_cpu_parse().
