From b1d6590d357bde2332cb699e2fd2efc7a7c64f38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Schocher Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2016 12:16:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ubifs: fix memory corruption in super.c In list "super_blocks" ubifs collects allocated super_block structs. U-Boot frees on unmount the allocated struct, so the pointer stored in this list is free after the umount. On a new ubifs mount, the new allocated super_block struct get inserted into the super_blocks list ... which contains now a freed pointer, and the list_add_tail() corrupts the freed memory ... 2 solutions are possible: - remove the super_block from the super_blocks list on umount - as U-Boot does not use the super_blocks list ... remove it complete for U-Boot. Both solutions should not introduce problems for porting to newer linux version, so this patch removes the unused super_blocks list, as it saves code size and execution time.
