CVE-2024-26866

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

spi: lpspi: Avoid potential use-after-free in probe()

fsllpspiprobe() is allocating/disposing memory manually with spiallochost()/spialloctarget(), but uses devmspiregistercontroller(). In case of error after the latter call the memory will be explicitly freed in the probe function by spicontrollerput() call, but used afterwards by "devm" management outside probe() (spiunregistercontroller() <- devmspi_unregister() below).
