In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubi: Fix use-after-free when volume resizing failed
There is an use-after-free problem reported by KASAN:

When ubi_change_vtbl_record() returns an error in ubi_resize_volume(),
"new_eba_tbl" will be freed on error handing path, but it is holded
by "vol->eba_tbl" in ubi_eba_replace_table(). It means that the liftcycle
of "vol->eba_tbl" and "vol" are different, so when resizing volume in
next time, it causing an use-after-free fault.
Fix it by not freeing "new_eba_tbl" after it replaced in
ubi_eba_replace_table(), while will be freed in next volume resizing.
