Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Linux kernel's arm_scmi firmware interface code has a race condition in device removal, affecting multiple kernel versions and stable branches as listed. When two SCMI drivers for the same protocol are unregistered at the same time, one thread can free a list head that the other still uses, leading to a use-after-free and a double free. The source does not state what an attacker would gain or what access is needed to trigger it. The fix is included in the listed patched versions, so upgrade to a fixed kernel release from your stable branch.
