Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
media: dvbdev: adopts refcnt to avoid UAF<br />
<br />
dvb_unregister_device() is known that prone to use-after-free.<br />
That is, the cleanup from dvb_unregister_device() releases the dvb_device<br />
even if there are pointers stored in file->private_data still refer to it.<br />
<br />
This patch adds a reference counter into struct dvb_device and delays its<br />
deallocation until no pointer refers to the object.
