CVE-2021-47361

HIGH

Linux Kernel 4.7-4.9.285 - Use-After-Free in MCB Bus Allocation

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mcb: fix error handling in mcb_alloc_bus() There are two bugs: 1) If ida_simple_get() fails then this code calls put_device(carrier) but we haven't yet called get_device(carrier) and probably that leads to a use after free. 2) After device_initialize() then we need to use put_device() to release the bus. This will free the internal resources tied to the device and call mcb_free_bus() which will free the rest.
