[PATCH] usb: gadget: f_uac2: fix invalid free in UAC2_RATE_ATTRIBUTE store
From: Deepanshu Kartikey
Date: Wed Jul 29 2026 - 06:59:07 EST
The store callback generated by UAC2_RATE_ATTRIBUTE() parses a
comma-separated list of sample rates by repeatedly calling strsep()
on split_page, which was obtained via kstrdup(). strsep() advances
the pointer it is given to point past each consumed token, so by
the time the loop reaches the end label - either after a normal
full parse or after an early exit via "goto end" when kstrtou32()
fails on a malformed token - split_page no longer points at the
start of the buffer returned by kstrdup(). kfree() is then called
on this interior pointer, which is not a valid allocation start
address, resulting in a KASAN invalid-free.
Fix this by keeping a separate pointer, orig_page, that is set
once from the kstrdup() return value and is never modified by
strsep(). orig_page is initialized to NULL so that early exits
before kstrdup() is reached (e.g. the opts->refcnt busy check)
result in a harmless kfree(NULL) instead of freeing an
uninitialized stack value. kfree() is called on orig_page instead
of split_page at the end label.
Since both f_uac2_opts_p_srate_store() and f_uac2_opts_c_srate_store()
are generated from this same macro, this fixes both attributes.
