In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: staging/ipu7: fix async notifier UAF on probe error path
isys_register_devices() registers the V4L2 async notifier via
isys_notifier_init(). If a subsequent probe step such as
isys_fw_log_init() fails, isys_probe() jumps to the out_cleanup label
which only calls isys_unregister_devices(). That helper tears down the
video devices, subdevices, V4L2 device and media device, but never
unregisters or cleans up the async notifier.
As a result the notifier stays chained in the global notifier_list while
the enclosing struct ipu7_isys is freed by devres, leading to list
corruption and a use-after-free the next time the list is walked.
The remove path already does the right thing by calling
isys_notifier_cleanup() before isys_unregister_devices(). Mirror that on
the probe error path so the notifier is unregistered and cleaned up
before the device is torn down.
