Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: x86-android-tablets: Fix use after free on platform_device_register() errors
x86_android_tablet_remove() frees the pdevs[] array, so it should not
be used after calling x86_android_tablet_remove().
When platform_device_register() fails, store the pdevs[x] PTR_ERR() value
into the local ret variable before calling x86_android_tablet_remove()
to avoid using pdevs[] after it has been freed.
Affected configurations
• debian debian linux 11.0
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.17 < 6.1.118)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.55)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.10.14)
