In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sata_fsl: fix UAF in sata_fsl_port_stop when rmmod sata_fsl
When the rmmod sata_fsl.ko command is executed in the PPC64 GNU/Linux,
a bug is reported:

==================================================================
The triggering of the BUG is shown in the following stack:
driver_detach device_release_driver_internal __device_release_driver drv->remove(dev) --> platform_drv_remove/platform_remove drv->remove(dev) --> sata_fsl_remove iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base); <---- unmap kfree(host_priv); <---- free devres_release_all release_nodes dr->node.release(dev, dr->data) --> ata_host_stop ap->ops->port_stop(ap) --> sata_fsl_port_stop ioread32(hcr_base + HCONTROL) <---- UAF host->ops->host_stop(host)
The iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base) and kfree(host_priv) functions should not be executed in drv->remove. These functions should be executed in host_stop after port_stop. Therefore, we move these functions to the new function sata_fsl_host_stop and bind the new function to host_stop.
