This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vhost-vdpa: fix use after free in vhost_vdpa_probe() to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: vhost-vdpa-fix-use-after-free-in-vhost_vdpa_probe.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 934fd78aa6d937efd1460179b2a54a961eec0949 Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 27 15:12:54 2023 +0300 vhost-vdpa: fix use after free in vhost_vdpa_probe() [ Upstream commit e07754e0a1ea2d63fb29574253d1fd7405607343 ] The put_device() calls vhost_vdpa_release_dev() which calls ida_simple_remove() and frees "v". So this call to ida_simple_remove() is a use after free and a double free.
