Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

regmap: Fix possible double-free in regcacherbtreeexit()

In regcacherbtreeinserttoblock(), 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 regcacherbtreeinit(), 'rbnode->block' will be freed again in regcacherbtreeexit(), KASAN will report double-free as follows:

BUG: KASAN: double-free or invalid-free in kfree+0xce/0x390 Call Trace: slabfreefreelisthook+0x10d/0x240 kfree+0xce/0x390 regcacherbtreeexit+0x15d/0x1a0 regcacherbtreeinit+0x224/0x2c0 regcacheinit+0x88d/0x1310 _regmapinit+0x3151/0x4a80 _devmregmapinit+0x7d/0x100 maderaspiprobe+0x10f/0x333 [maderaspi] spiprobe+0x183/0x210 reallyprobe+0x285/0xc30

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.
