In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rapidio: mport cdev: fix use-after-free in dma req free()
dma req free() acquires buf mutex through req->map, drops the mapping
reference with kref put(), and then dereferences req->map again to unlock
the mutex.
If kref put() drops the last reference, mport release mapping() frees the
mapping, and the subsequent mutex unlock() dereferences a freed object.
This is a use-after-free.
Fix this by caching map and md before kref put(), clearing req->map while
holding buf mutex, and using the cached md for mutex unlocking.
The bug is reachable from userspace via the RapidIO mport character device
interface.
