Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ubi: fastmap: Fix duplicate slab cache names while attaching<br />
<br />
Since commit 4c39529663b9 ("slab: Warn on duplicate cache names when<br />
DEBUG_VM=y"), the duplicate slab cache names can be detected and a<br />
kernel WARNING is thrown out.<br />
In UBI fast attaching process, alloc_ai() could be invoked twice<br />
with the same slab cache name &#39;ubi_aeb_slab_cache&#39;, which will trigger<br />
following warning messages:<br />
kmem_cache of name &#39;ubi_aeb_slab_cache&#39; already exists<br />
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 7519 at mm/slab_common.c:107<br />
__kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0<br />
Modules linked in: ubi(+) nandsim [last unloaded: nandsim]<br />
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 7519 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G 6.12.0-rc2<br />
RIP: 0010:__kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0<br />
Call Trace:<br />

<br />
The problem could be easily reproduced by loading UBI device by fastmap<br />
with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y.<br />
Fix it by using different slab names for alloc_ai() callers.
