[PATCH 4.9 05/42] staging: rtl8712: fix use after free bugs

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 13 2022 - 11:25:12 EST


From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e230a4455ac3e9b112f0367d1b8e255e141afae0 upstream.

_Read/Write_MACREG callbacks are NULL so the read/write_macreg_hdl()
functions don't do anything except free the "pcmd" pointer. It
results in a use after free. Delete them.

Fixes: 2865d42c78a9 ("staging: r8712u: Add the new driver to the mainline kernel")
