[PATCH 3.16 055/136] USB: adutux: fix use-after-free on release

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Dec 16 2019 - 19:57:35 EST


3.16.80-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 123a0f125fa3d2104043697baa62899d9e549272 upstream.

The driver was accessing its struct usb_device in its release()
callback without holding a reference. This would lead to a
use-after-free whenever the device was disconnected while the character
device was still open.

Fixes: 66d4bc30d128 ("USB: adutux: remove custom debug macro")
