Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2022-48759 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 7 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rpmsg: char: Fix race between the release of rpmsg_ctrldev and cdev
struct rpmsg_ctrldev contains a struct cdev. The current code frees
the rpmsg_ctrldev struct in rpmsg_ctrldev_release_device(), but the
cdev is a managed object, therefore its release is not predictable
and the rpmsg_ctrldev could be freed before the cdev is entirely
released, as in the backtrace below.

commit '233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to register char
devs with a struct device")'), use it instead of cdev add/del().
