[PATCH v2] media: i2c: mt9p031: fix endpoint parsing use-after-free
From: Biren Pandya
Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 08:38:17 EST
The mt9p031_parse_properties() function calls fwnode_handle_put(np)
immediately after parsing the endpoint. However, it subsequently reads
the 'input-clock-frequency' and 'pixel-clock-frequency' properties
using the same 'np' handle, leading to a use-after-free.
Fix the use-after-free by reordering the property reads to occur before
the endpoint is parsed and freed. Additionally, utilize the
__free(fwnode_handle) scoped guard to automate the endpoint's lifecycle
management, preventing future leaks and simplifying the error paths.
Fixes: 8f2da25e85c1 ("media: i2c: mt9p031: Switch from OF to fwnode API")

v2: reworded as the UAF fix it is; added Fixes/Cc stable; moved property reads before parse (Sakari); adopted __free (Laurent).
