From 48e7a3c95c9f98c2cb6f894820e3cc2d0448e92f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 22:43:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] HID: fix incorrect free in hiddev If hiddev_open() fails, it wrongly frees the shared hiddev structure kept in hiddev_table instead of the hiddev_list structure allocated for the opened file descriptor. Existing references to this structure will then accessed free memory. This was introduced by 079034073 "HID: hiddev cleanup -- handle all error conditions properly".
