CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2022-50190 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: Fix simplification of devm_spi_register_controller This reverts commit 59ebbe40fb51 ("spi: simplify devm_spi_register_controller"). If devm_add_action() fails in devm_add_action_or_reset(), devm_spi_unregister() will be called, it decreases the refcount of 'ctlr->dev' to 0, then it will cause uaf in the drivers that calling spi_put_controller() in error path.

Matched remediation archetype
Use-after-free, double free, and expired resource use
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace ownership, references, callbacks, asynchronous tasks, and teardown paths around the affected object or resource.
- Identify reachable inputs and timing or state transitions that can release the object while references remain.
- Confirm affected builds, allocators, feature flags, architectures, and process privileges.
Remediate safely
- Apply the maintained ownership or lifetime fix and rebuild all artifacts containing the affected native code.
- Use explicit ownership, safe reference management, cancellation and join semantics, and idempotent teardown.
- Add deterministic lifetime tests plus isolated sanitizer and concurrency coverage for shutdown and error paths.
