Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: class: fix use-after-free in class_register() The lock_class_key is still registered and can be found in lock_keys_hash hlist after subsys_private is freed in error handler path.A task who iterate over the lock_keys_hash later may cause use-after-free.So fix that up and unregister the lock_class_key before kfree(cp). On our platform, a driver fails to kset_register because of creating duplicate filename '/class/xxx'.With Kasan enabled, it prints a invalid-access bug report. KASAN bug report: BUG: KASAN: invalid-access in lockdep_register_key+0x19c/0x1bc Write of size 8 at addr 15ffff808b8c0368 by task modprobe/252 Pointer tag: [15], memory tag: [fe] CPU: 7 PID: 252 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 6.6.0-mainline-m
