[PATCH] [v2] qed: Fix a potential use-after-free in qed_cxt_tables_alloc

From: Dinghao Liu
Date: Thu Dec 07 2023 - 04:41:09 EST


qed_ilt_shadow_alloc() will call qed_ilt_shadow_free() to
free p_hwfn->p_cxt_mngr->ilt_shadow on error. However,
qed_cxt_tables_alloc() accesses the freed pointer on failure
of qed_ilt_shadow_alloc() through calling qed_cxt_mngr_free(),
which may lead to use-after-free. Fix this issue by setting
p_hwfn->p_cxt_mngr->ilt_shadow to NULL in qed_ilt_shadow_free().

Fixes: fe56b9e6a8d9 ("qed: Add module with basic common support")

Changelog:

v2: -Change the bug type from double-free to use-after-free.
-Move the null check against p_mngr->ilt_shadow to the beginning
of the function qed_ilt_shadow_free().
-When kcalloc() fails in qed_ilt_shadow_alloc(), just return
because there is nothing to free.
