Commit Message

dvb_usb_device_init() copies the properties to the own data, so that
the callers can release the original properties later (as done in the
commit 299c7007e936 "media: dw2102: Fix memleak on sequence of
probes").  However, it also stores dev->desc pointer that is a
reference to the original properties data.  Since dev->desc is
referred later, it may result in use-after-free, in the worst case,
leading to a kernel Oops as reported.

This patch addresses the problem by allocating and copying the
properties at first, then get the desc from the copied properties.

Hey Takashi,

This patch is generating a checkpatch warning, but I think it is
spurious and can be ignored.

Other than that, this looks good to me.

The checkpatch warning isn't superious and should really be corrected.

Thank you for your patch. Unfortunately, it depends on the first patch
in the series, which I think has problems (see email about this).

Thanks

Sean

It's case-by-case, checkpatch is no bible by itself.  In this
particular case, it was rather a false-positive of checkpatch: the
commit reference including a line-break.

This issue has been always annoying and I wish this will be dropped
from checkpatch in near future...


thanks,

Takashi
