Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: remove device from smcd_dev_list after failed device_add() If the device_add() for a smcd_dev fails, there's no cleanup step that rolls back the earlier list_add(). The device subsequently gets freed, and we end up with a corrupted list. Add some error handling that removes the device from the list.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.19 < 5.10.42) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.12.9) • linux linux kernel 5.13
