Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-core package and not the kernel-core package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

stm class: Fix a double free in stm_register_device()

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.
