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

uio: Fix stale info pointer in failed registration path

After device_add(), the UIO device is visible to userspace and /dev/uioX can be opened. If a later setup step fails, __uio_register_device() unwinds the device but leaves idev->info pointing at the caller-owned struct uio_info.

That is unsafe when an opener races with the failed registration path. The open file keeps a reference to the uio_device, while the caller sees registration failure and may free its struct uio_info. Later file operations can then follow idev->info and dereference freed memory.

Handle post-device_add() failures like unregister: remove UIO attributes while the info pointer is still valid, then clear idev->info under info_lock and wake existing waiters/async users before removing the device and minor. This makes already-open file descriptors observe the same "device gone" state as normal uio_unregister_device().
