## Overview

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

spi: fix use-after-free on controller registration failure

Make sure to deregister from driver core also in the unlikely event that
per-cpu statistics allocation fails during controller registration to
avoid use-after-free (of driver resources) and unclocked register
accesses.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 6.0, < 6.1.167`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.130`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.12.78`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.13, < 6.18.20`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.19, < 6.19.10`
- `linux_kernel = 7.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.19.10`
