Summary

In the Linux kernel, the media: atomisp: gc2235 driver had error handling bugs leading to use-after-free and memory leak. The fix replaces gc2235_remove() calls in error paths with explicit unwind labels that free only initialized resources.

Risk Assessment

Risk of system crash or memory leak during driver initialization, potentially affecting system stability.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix for the atomisp gc2235 driver.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: atomisp: gc2235: fix UAF and memory leak gc2235_probe() handles its error paths incorrectly. If media_entity_pads_init() fails, gc2235_remove() is called, which tears down the subdev and frees dev, but then still falls through to atomisp_register_i2c_module(). This results in use-after-free. If atomisp_register_i2c_module() fails, the media entity and control handler are left initialized and dev is leaked. gc2235_remove() unconditionally calls media_entity_cleanup() and v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(), but these are not initialized at every error path in gc2235_probe(). Replace gc2235_remove() calls in the probe error paths with explicit unwind labels that free only the resources initialized at each point of failure, in reverse order of initialization.
