A use-after-free or null-pointer error occurs when the 251-byte response data is copied from IOMB buffer to response message buffer in function pm8001_mpi_get_nvmd_resp(). After sending the command get_nvmd_data(), the caller begins to sleep by calling wait_for_complete() and waits for the wake-up from calling complete() in pm8001_mpi_get_nvmd_resp(). Due to unexpected events (e.g., interrupt), if response buffer gets freed before memcpy(), a use-after-free error will occur. To fix this, the complete() should be called after memcpy().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
