In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: cdns3 fix use-after-free at workaround 2
BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in __list_del_entry_valid+0x10/0xac
cdns3_wa2_remove_old_request()
{
...
kfree(priv_req->request.buf);
cdns3_gadget_ep_free_request(&priv_ep->endpoint, &priv_req->request);
list_del_init(&priv_req->list);
^^^ use after free
...
}
cdns3_gadget_ep_free_request() free the space pointed by priv_req,
but priv_req is used in the following list_del_init().
This patch move list_del_init() before cdns3_gadget_ep_free_request().
