This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: aacraid: Fix double-free on probe failure to the 5.10-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: scsi-aacraid-fix-double-free-on-probe-failure.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 382f37c6e0ae1873b79acda4d4469a7bbfc859c4 Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 22 00:51:42 2024 +0200 scsi: aacraid: Fix double-free on probe failure [ Upstream commit 919ddf8336f0b84c0453bac583808c9f165a85c2 ] aac_probe_one() calls hardware-specific init functions through the aac_driver_ident::init pointer, all of which eventually call down to aac_init_adapter(). If aac_init_adapter() fails after allocating memory for aac_dev::queues, it frees the memory but does not clear that member. After the hardware-specific init function returns an error, aac_probe_one() goes down an error path that frees the memory pointed to by aac_dev::queues, resulting.in a double-free.
