From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.219 commit 713fc00c571dde4af3db2dbd5d1b0eadc327817b category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IA7D3T CVE: CVE-2024-38627 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 3df463865ba42b8f88a590326f4c9ea17a1ce459 ] The put_device(&stm->dev) call will trigger stm_device_release() which frees "stm" so the vfree(stm) on the next line is a double free.
