Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: edia: dvbdev: fix a use-after-free
In dvb_register_device, pdvbdev is set equal to dvbdev, which is freed in several error-handling paths. However, pdvbdev is not set to NULL after dvbdev's deallocation, causing use-after-frees in many places, for example, in the following call chain:
budget_register |-> dvb_dmxdev_init |-> dvb_register_device |-> dvb_dmxdev_release |-> dvb_unregister_device |-> dvb_remove_device |-> dvb_device_put |-> kref_put
When calling dvb_unregister_device, dmxdev->dvbdev (i.e. *pdvbdev in dvb_register_device) could point to memory that had been freed in dvb_register_device. Thereafter, this pointer is transferred to kref_put and triggering a use-after-free.
