NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf package and not the libperf package as distributed by RHEL.

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

net: mana: fix use-after-free in add_adev() error path

If auxiliary_device_add() fails, add_adev() jumps to add_fail and calls auxiliary_device_uninit(adev).

The auxiliary device has its release callback set to adev_release(), which frees the containing struct mana_adev. Since adev is embedded in struct mana_adev, the subsequent fall-through to init_fail and access to adev->id may result in a use-after-free.

Fix this by saving the allocated auxiliary device id in a local variable before calling auxiliary_device_add(), and use that saved id in the cleanup path after auxiliary_device_uninit().
