From ce8fad9a1f09009ec3918a99685d9e3176f50ce3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Norris Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2017 16:59:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: fix use-after-free for FW reinit errors If we fail to reinit the FW when resetting the device (in the synchronous version of mwifiex_init_hw_fw() -> mwifiex_fw_dpc()), mwifiex_fw_dpc() will tear down the interface and free up the adapter. But we don't actually check for all failure cases of mwifiex_fw_dpc(), so some of them fall through and dereference adapter->fw_done with a freed adapter, causing a use-after-free bug. In any case, mwifiex_fw_dpc() will always signal FW completion -- in the error OR success case -- so at best, this was repeat work. Let's not do it.
