Double Free Affecting kernel-debuginfo package, versions <0:4.14.262-200.489.amzn2

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debuginfo package and not the kernel-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

igbvf: fix double free in igbvf_probe

In igbvf_probe, if register_netdev() fails, the program will go to label err_hw_init, and then to label err_ioremap. In free_netdev() which is just below label err_ioremap, there is list_for_each_entry_safe and netif_napi_del which aims to delete all entries in dev->napi_list. The program has added an entry adapter->rx_ring->napi which is added by netif_napi_add in igbvf_alloc_queues(). However, adapter->rx_ring has been freed below label err_hw_init. So this a UAF.

In terms of how to patch the problem, we can refer to igbvf_remove() and delete the entry before adapter->rx_ring.
