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

binderfs: fix UAF write in binder_add_device

binderfs_binder_device_create() publishes the new dentry with d_make_persistent() and then calls simple_done_creating(), which drops the parent directory lock and the creator's dentry reference. It then calls binder_add_device() to register the device in the global binder_devices list.

After simple_done_creating() releases the parent directory lock, a concurrent unlinkat() can remove the new device entry. Dropping the creator's dentry reference can then trigger binderfs_evict_inode(), freeing the device. binder_add_device() later accesses the freed object, causing UAF write.
