From 07fdfc5e9f1c966be8722e8fa927e5ea140df5ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2015 10:34:50 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: fix potential use-after-free after failed probe Fix return value in probe error path, which could end up returning success (0) on errors. This could in turn lead to use-after-free or double free (e.g. in port_remove) when the port device is removed.
