Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: EDAC/igen6: Avoid segmentation fault on module unload The segmentation fault happens because: During modprobe: 1. In igen6_probe(), igen6_pvt will be allocated with kzalloc() 2. In igen6_register_mci(), mci->pvt_info will point to &igen6_pvt->imc[mc] During rmmod: 1. In mci_release() in edac_mc.c, it will kfree(mci->pvt_info) 2. In igen6_remove(), it will kfree(igen6_pvt); Fix this issue by setting mci->pvt_info to NULL to avoid the double kfree.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.174) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.120) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.64) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.11.11) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.12 < 6.12.2)
