Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: vidtv: Fix use-after-free in vidtv_bridge_dvb_init() KASAN reports a use-after-free: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in dvb_dmxdev_release+0x4d5/0x5d0 [dvb_core] Call Trace: ... dvb_dmxdev_release+0x4d5/0x5d0 [dvb_core] vidtv_bridge_probe+0x7bf/0xa40 [dvb_vidtv_bridge] platform_probe+0xb6/0x170 ... Allocated by task 1238: ... dvb_register_device+0x1a7/0xa70 [dvb_core] dvb_dmxdev_init+0x2af/0x4a0 [dvb_core] vidtv_bridge_probe+0x766/0xa40 [dvb_vidtv_bridge] ... Freed by task 1238: dvb_register_device+0x6d2/0xa70 [dvb_core] dvb_dmxdev_init+0x2af/0x4a0 [dvb_core] vidtv_bridge_probe+0x766/0xa40 [dvb_vidtv_bridge] ... It is because the error handling in vidtv_bridge_dvb_init() is wrong. First, vidtv_bridge_dmx(dev)_init() will clean themselves when fail, but goto fail_dmx(_dev): calls release functions again, which causes use-after-free. Also, in fail_fe, fail_tuner_probe and fail_demod_probe, j = i will cause out-of-bound when i finished its loop (i == NUM_FE). And the loop releasing is wrong, although now NUM_FE is 1 so it won't cause problem. Fix this by correctly releasing everything.
