Subject: [PATCH net] net: ethernet: i825xx: Fix dma_alloc_coherent() size
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 16:32:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006143247.54724-2-fourier.thomas@gmail.com> (raw)
In sni_82596_probe(), the lp->dma buffer is allocated with
dma_alloc_coherent() and with size sizeof(struct i596_dma), and possibly
freed in the error path with the same size. However, in
sni_82596_driver_remove(), the same buffer is freed but with size
sizeof(struct i596_private). This error may leave the freed buffers
mapped, leaking a resource and allowing the device to access freed
memory.
Change the length in sni_82596_driver_remove() to
sizeof(struct i596_dma).
This patch was compile tested only, and found by hand.
Fixes: f2ec8030085a ("Ethernet driver for EISA only SNI RM200/RM400 machines")
