Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> scsi: bfa: Double-free fix<br /> <br /> When the bfad_im_probe() function fails during initialization, the memory<br /> pointed to by bfad-&gt;im is freed without setting bfad-&gt;im to NULL.<br /> <br /> Subsequently, during driver uninstallation, when the state machine enters<br /> the bfad_sm_stopping state and calls the bfad_im_probe_undo() function,<br /> it attempts to free the memory pointed to by bfad-&gt;im again, thereby<br /> triggering a double-free vulnerability.<br /> <br /> Set bfad-&gt;im to NULL if probing fails.
