[PATCH] nfc: llcp: Fix local use-after-free in nfc_llcp_general_bytes()
From: Wentao Liang
Date: Thu Sep 17 2026 - 13:57:20 EST
nfc_llcp_general_bytes() drops the reference on the llcp local structure
with nfc_llcp_local_put() and then still reads local->gb for the return
value. If that was the last reference, the local structure is freed and
the read happens on freed memory.
Capture the pointer to the general bytes before dropping the reference
so the local structure is no longer used after the put.
Fixes: 6709d4b7bc2e ("net: nfc: Fix use-after-free caused by nfc_llcp_find_local")
