A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's vdpa driver in the vp_vdpa_remove function, which leads to a use-after-free condition, when the vp_vdpa driver is unbound, freeing the vp_vdpa structure before it is accessed again, resulting in dereferencing a freed memory area.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vdpa: fix use-after-free on vp_vdpa_remove When vp_vdpa driver is unbind, vp_vdpa is freed in vdpa_unregister_device and then vp_vdpa->mdev.pci_dev is dereferenced in vp_modern_remove, triggering use-after-free.
