Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
spi: spi-sprd-adi: Fix double free in probe error path<br />
<br />
The driver currently uses spi_alloc_host() to allocate the controller<br />
but registers it using devm_spi_register_controller().<br />
<br />
If devm_register_restart_handler() fails, the code jumps to the<br />
put_ctlr label and calls spi_controller_put(). However, since the<br />
controller was registered via a devm function, the device core will<br />
automatically call spi_controller_put() again when the probe fails.<br />
This results in a double-free of the spi_controller structure.<br />
<br />
Fix this by switching to devm_spi_alloc_host() and removing the<br />
manual spi_controller_put() call.
