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

interconnect: Fix use after free in icc_get() and of_icc_get_by_index()

In of_icc_get_by_index() and icc_get(), if the dynamic allocation for path->name fails via kasprintf(), the error handling path directly calls kfree(path) to free the path object and returns an error.

However, prior to this point, path_find() calls path_init(), which already links the path's requests into the req_list of the respective interconnect nodes via hlist_add_head(). Directly invoking kfree(path) leaves dangling pointers in the hlist. A subsequent call to icc_get() or icc_set_bw() will traverse or modify these corrupted lists, triggering a slab use afterfree.

KASAN report showing the vulnerability when reproducing via debugfs:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in path_find+0x6f8/0xcfc Write of size 8 at addr fff000000d43f748 by task sh/1 ... Call trace: kasan_report+0xac/0xfc path_find+0x6f8/0xcfc icc_get+0x148/0x380 icc_get_set+0xf8/0x2d0 ... Freed by task 1: kfree+0x1a0/0x4a4 icc_get+0x2cc/0x380 icc_get_set+0xf8/0x2d0

Fix this by replacing kfree(path) with the proper teardown function, icc_put(path), which safely removes the requests from the req_list using hlist_del() and drops the provider usage references before freeing the memory.

Additionally, in icc_get(), ensure that the icc_lock mutex is released prior to calling icc_put(path) to avoid a deadlock, as icc_put() internally acquires t…
