Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: imx: scu: use _safe list iterator to avoid a use after free
This loop is freeing "clk" so it needs to use list_for_each_entry_safe().
Otherwise it dereferences a freed variable to get the next item on the
loop.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.121)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.39)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.3.13)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.4 < 6.4.4)
