In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa/vp_vdpa: fix kfree a wrong pointer in vp_vdpa_remove
In vp_vdpa_remove(), the code kfree(&vp_vdpa_mgtdev->mgtdev.id_table) uses
a reference of pointer as the argument of kfree, which is the wrong pointer
and then may hit crash like this:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00ffff003363e30c
Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] SMP
