[PATCH net 08/13] idpf: fix double free and use-after-free in aux device error paths

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com>
Date: 2026-05-05 05:15:43
Also in: stable
Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

When auxiliary_device_add() fails in idpf_plug_vport_aux_dev() or
idpf_plug_core_aux_dev(), the err_aux_dev_add label calls
auxiliary_device_uninit() and falls through to err_aux_dev_init.  The
uninit call will trigger put_device(), which invokes the release
callback (idpf_vport_adev_release / idpf_core_adev_release) that frees
iadev.  The fall-through then reads adev->id from the freed iadev for
ida_free() and double-frees iadev with kfree().

Free the IDA slot and clear the back-pointer before uninit, while adev
is still valid, then return immediately.

Commit 65637c3a1811 ("idpf: fix UAF in RDMA core aux dev deinitialization")
fixed the same use-after-free in the matching unplug path in this file but
missed both probe error paths.
