NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-container package and not the kernel-uek-container package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

sh: intc: Fix use-after-free bug in register_intc_controller()

In the error handling for this function, d is freed without ever removing it from intc_list which would lead to a use after free. To fix this, let's only add it to the list after everything has succeeded.
