UTSA-2025-987153 advisory.

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

    rpmsg: char: Fix race between the release of rpmsg_ctrldev and cdev

    struct rpmsg_ctrldev contains a struct cdev. The current code frees
    the rpmsg_ctrldev struct in rpmsg_ctrldev_release_device(), but the
    cdev is a managed object, therefore its release is not predictable
    and the rpmsg_ctrldev could be freed before the cdev is entirely
    released, as in the backtrace below.

    The cdev_device_add/del() API was created to address this issue (see
    commit '233ed09d7fda (chardev: add helper function to register char
    devs with a struct device)'), use it instead of cdev add/del().

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
