In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regmap: Fix possible double-free in regcache_rbtree_exit()
In regcache_rbtree_insert_to_block(), when 'present' realloc failed,
the 'blk' which is supposed to assign to 'rbnode->block' will be freed,
so 'rbnode->block' points a freed memory, in the error handling path of
regcache_rbtree_init(), 'rbnode->block' will be freed again in
regcache_rbtree_exit(), KASAN will report double-free as follows:
BUG: KASAN: double-free or invalid-free in kfree+0xce/0x390

To fix this, moving up the assignment of rbnode->block to immediately after
the reallocation has succeeded so that the data structure stays valid even
if the second reallocation fails.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's regmap subsystem. When memory reallocation fails during register cache block initialization, the error-handling path incorrectly attempts to release memory that has already been freed. A local privileged user could trigger this double-free condition during device probing, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) via a kernel crash or potential memory corruption.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as having a Low severity impact on Red Hat Enterprise Linux because successful exploitation requires elevated privileges, specific hardware interaction, and forced system memory exhaustion during driver probing. The register cache mechanism is invoked internally by kernel drivers during device setup, meaning unprivileged users cannot directly trigger this error path under standard operating conditions. Consequently, the practical risk is largely limited to a local denial of service that demands administrative access or specialized hardware to trigger.
