What it is

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

spi: lpspi: Avoid potential use-after-free in probe()

fsl_lpspi_probe() is allocating/disposing memory manually with

spi_alloc_host()/spi_alloc_target(), but uses

devm_spi_register_controller(). In case of error after the latter call the

memory will be explicitly freed in the probe function by

spi_controller_put() call, but used afterwards by "devm" management outside

probe() (spi_unregister_controller() <- devm_spi_unregister() below).

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000070
