Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
i3c: master: Fix use-after-free of master->this<br />
<br />
sysfs attribute callbacks for the master controller device dereference<br />
master->this. However, master->this is freed in<br />
i3c_master_detach_free_devs() before the master device itself is<br />
released.<br />
<br />
As a result, sysfs accesses can dereference a freed master->this<br />
pointer, leading to a use-after-free.<br />
<br />
Keep master->this alive until i3c_masterdev_release(), which is called<br />
after the master device and its sysfs state are being torn down. Do not<br />
free master->this as part of the normal device detach path.<br />
<br />
On the error path in i3c_master_set_info(), reset master->this and<br />
bus.cur_master to NULL before freeing the allocated device.
