In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi:
Fix use-after-free with devm_spi_alloc_* We can’t rely on the contents of
the devres list during spi_unregister_controller(), as the list is already
torn down at the time we perform devres_find() for
devm_spi_release_controller. This causes devices registered with
devm_spi_alloc_{master,slave}() to be mistakenly identified as legacy,
non-devm managed devices and have their reference counters decremented
below 0. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 660 at
