Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mcb: fix a double free bug in chameleon_parse_gdd() In chameleon_parse_gdd(), if mcb_device_register() fails, &#39;mdev&#39; would be released in mcb_device_register() via put_device(). Thus, goto &#39;err&#39; label and free &#39;mdev&#39; again causes a double free. Just return if mcb_device_register() fails.
