NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-base package and not the kernel-default-base package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

spi: tegra20-slink: fix UAF in tegra_slink_remove()

After calling spi_unregister_master(), the refcount of master will be decrease to 0, and it will be freed in spi_controller_release(), the device data also will be freed, so it will lead a UAF when using 'tspi'. To fix this, get the master before unregister and put it when finish using it.
