In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uio:
Fix use-after-free in uio_open core-1 core-2

uio_unregister_device uio_open idev = idr_find()
device_unregister(&idev->dev) put_device(&idev->dev) uio_device_release
get_device(&idev->dev) kfree(idev) uio_free_minor(minor) uio_release
put_device(&idev->dev) kfree(idev)
------------------------------------------------------- In the core-1
uio_unregister_device(), the device_unregister will kfree idev when the
idev->dev kobject ref is 1. But after core-1 device_unregister, put_device
and before doing kfree, the core-2 may get_device. Then: 1. After core-1
kfree idev, the core-2 will do use-after-free for idev. 2. When core-2 do
uio_release and put_device, the idev will be double freed. To address this
issue, we can get idev atomic & inc idev reference with minor_lock.
