Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: Fix oops on rmmod dell_smbios<br />
<br />
init_dell_smbios_wmi() only registers the dell_smbios_wmi_driver on systems<br />
where the Dell WMI interface is supported. While exit_dell_smbios_wmi()<br />
unregisters it unconditionally, this leads to the following oops:<br />
<br />
[ 175.722921] ------------[ cut here ]------------<br />
[ 175.722925] Unexpected driver unregister!<br />
[ 175.722939] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 3630 at drivers/base/driver.c:194 driver_unregister+0x38/0x40<br />
...<br />
[ 175.723089] Call Trace:<br />
[ 175.723094] cleanup_module+0x5/0xedd [dell_smbios]<br />
...<br />
[ 175.723148] ---[ end trace 064c34e1ad49509d ]---<br />
<br />
Make the unregister happen on the same condition the register happens<br />
to fix this.
