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

    sata_fsl: fix UAF in sata_fsl_port_stop when rmmod sata_fsl

    When the `rmmod sata_fsl.ko` command is executed in the PPC64 GNU/Linux,
    a bug is reported:
     ==================================================================

     ==================================================================

    The triggering of the BUG is shown in the following stack:

    driver_detach
      device_release_driver_internal
        __device_release_driver
          drv->remove(dev) --> platform_drv_remove/platform_remove
            drv->remove(dev) --> sata_fsl_remove
              iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base);                 <---- unmap
              kfree(host_priv);                             <---- free
          devres_release_all
            release_nodes
              dr->node.release(dev, dr->data) --> ata_host_stop
                ap->ops->port_stop(ap) --> sata_fsl_port_stop
                    ioread32(hcr_base + HCONTROL)           <---- UAF
                host->ops->host_stop(host)

    The iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base) and kfree(host_priv) functions should
    not be executed in drv->remove. These functions should be executed in
    host_stop after port_stop. Therefore, we move these functions to the
    new function sata_fsl_host_stop and bind the new function to host_stop.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
