Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-04 08:01:33 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

um: virtio_uml: Fix use-after-free after put_device in probe

When register_virtio_device() fails in virtio_uml_probe(),
the code sets vu_dev->registered = 1 even though
the device was not successfully registered.
This can lead to use-after-free or other issues.
