CVE-2023-53082 (Low severity, published 2025-05-01)
CVSS score: 4.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vp_vdpa: fix the crash in hot unplug with vp_vdpa

While unplugging the vp_vdpa device, it triggers a kernel panic
The root cause is: vdpa_mgmtdev_unregister() will accesses modern
devices which will cause a use after free.
So need to change the sequence in vp_vdpa_remove

Statement: A missing call order fix in vp_vdpa_remove() could lead to a use-after-free and kernel panic during hot-unplug of a VP VDPA device. This is due to accessing freed memory after unregistering the management device. Triggering this requires privileged access (e.g., root), typically during virtual device lifecycle operations such as device removal in KVM environments.
