In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: rockchip-sfc: Fix double-free in remove() callback
The driver uses devm_spi_register_controller() for registration, which automatically unregisters the controller via devm cleanup when the device is removed. The manual call to spi_unregister_controller() in the remove() callback can lead to a double-free.
And to make sure controller is unregistered before DMA buffer is unmapped, switch to use spi_register_controller() in probe().
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation potential in the Linux kernel's Rockchip Serial Flash Controller (SFC) SPI driver arises from a double-free in the remove() callback path, where the driver calls spi_unregister_controller() manually despite already using the devm-managed registration helper. The flaw affects systems using the rockchip-sfc driver and is not currently in CISA KEV, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and a very low EPSS score (0.02%, 4th percentile), but CVSS 7.8 reflects high local impact if triggered.
