Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/xe/nvm: Fix double-free on aux add failure<br />
<br />
After a successful auxiliary_device_init(), aux_dev->dev.release<br />
(xe_nvm_release_dev()) is responsible for the kfree(nvm). When<br />
there is failure with auxiliary_device_add(), driver will call<br />
auxiliary_device_uninit(), which call put_device(). So that the<br />
.release callback will be triggered to free the memory associated<br />
with the auxiliary_device.<br />
<br />
Move the kfree(nvm) into the auxiliary_device_init() failure path<br />
and remove the err goto path to fix below error.<br />
