[PATCH 5.10 274/299] media: dvb-usb: Fix use-after-free access

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit c49206786ee252f28b7d4d155d1fff96f145a05d upstream.

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.
