Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ata: libata-core: Fix double free on error If e.g. the ata_port_alloc() call in ata_host_alloc() fails, we will jump to the err_out label, which will call devres_release_group(). devres_release_group() will trigger a call to ata_host_release(). ata_host_release() calls kfree(host), so executing the kfree(host) in ata_host_alloc() will lead to a double free: kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:553! Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 11 PID: 599 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 6.10.0-rc5 #47 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-2.fc40 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:kfree+0x2cf/0x2f0 Code: 5d 41 5e 41 5f 5d e9 80 d6 ff ff 4d 89 f1 41 b8 01 00 00 00 48 89 d9 48 89 da RSP: 0018:ffffc90000f377f0 EF
