In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firewire: ohci: fix NULL pointer dereference in ar_context_release
During the error handling path of the driver's probe function, a NULL pointer dereference can occur in ar_context_release().
When pci_probe() fails early (e.g., if pcim_enable_device() or MMIO mapping fails), the devres cleanup mechanism invokes release_ohci(). This function unconditionally calls ar_context_release() to clean up the asynchronous receive contexts. However, if ar_context_init() was not yet called, ctx->ohci remains NULL (as the fw_ohci structure is zero-initialized by devres_alloc()).
ar_context_release() immediately dereferences ctx->ohci to get the dev pointer before checking if the context was actually initialized, leading to a crash:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000001: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f] RIP: 0010:ar_context_release+0x3f/0x380 drivers/firewire/ohci.c:543 Call Trace: release_ohci+0x3f/0x60 drivers/firewire/ohci.c:3567 release_nodes drivers/base/devres.c:546 [inline] devres_release_all+0x1a8/0x260 drivers/base/devres.c:576 device_unbind_cleanup drivers/base/dd.c:597 [inline] really_probe+0x451/0xae0 drivers/base/dd.c:772
To fix this, move the assignment of the dev pointer after the !ctx->buffer check. If ctx->buffer is NULL, it indicates that the context was never successfully initialized and there is nothing to release, safely avoiding the dereference of the uninitialized ctx->ohci pointer.
