firmware: arm_scmi: Fix slab-use-after-free in scmi_bus_notifier()
CVE: CVE-2024-53068
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-416
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 7.9/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Release date: 2024-11-19T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

firmware: arm_scmi: Fix slab-use-after-free in scmi_bus_notifier()

The scmi_dev->name is released prematurely in __scmi_device_destroy(),
which causes slab-use-after-free when accessing scmi_dev->name in
scmi_bus_notifier(). So move the release of scmi_dev->name to
scmi_device_release() to avoid slab-use-after-free.
