In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/mdev: Fix a null-ptr-deref bug for mdev_unregister_parent()
Inject fault while probing mdpy.ko, if kstrdup() of create_dir() fails in
kobject_add_internal() in kobject_init_and_add() in mdev_type_add()
in parent_create_sysfs_files(), it will return 0 and probe successfully.
And when rmmod mdpy.ko, the mdpy_dev_exit() will call
mdev_unregister_parent(), the mdev_type_remove() may traverse uninitialized
parent->types[i] in parent_remove_sysfs_files(), and it will cause
below null-ptr-deref.
If mdev_type_add() fails, return the error code and kset_unregister()
to fix the issue.
