Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pds_core: fix auxiliary device add/del races
Two paths add or delete the same slot (pf->vfs[vf_id].padev): a VF's
pdsc_reset_done() and the PF's devlink enable_vnet/disable_vnet handler.
They serialize on config_lock, but neither guards the slot under it
correctly.
add() registers and stores a new auxiliary device without first checking
the slot, so a second add of an already-populated slot leaks the first
device. del() makes that check outside config_lock, so two concurrent
dels can both pass it; the first clears the slot, and the second
dereferences a NULL pointer.
Check and update the slot under config_lock in both paths.
