CVE-2024-57980: media: uvcvideo: Fix double free in error path

Published Feb 27, 2025
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: uvcvideo: Fix double free in error path

If the uvcstatusinit() function fails to allocate the inturb, it will free the dev->status pointer but doesn't reset the pointer to NULL. This results in the kfree() call in uvcstatuscleanup() trying to double-free the memory. Fix it by resetting the dev->status pointer to NULL after freeing it.
