In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ACPI: PCI: Clear driver_data on all paths that free the acpi_pci_root

acpi_pci_root_add() assigns the freshly allocated root to device->driver_data before dmar_device_add() and pci_acpi_scan_root(). Both failure paths reach the end: label where root is kfree()'d, but only the pci_acpi_scan_root() path clears driver_data first.

When dmar_device_add() fails during a hot-add, root is freed while device->driver_data still points at it. The ACPI core does not clear driver_data on attach failure, so a later acpi_pci_find_root() call may dereference this dangling pointer.

acpi_pci_root_remove() has the same problem: it frees root without clearing device->driver_data, leaving a dangling pointer behind after the root bridge is removed.

Move the NULL assignment to the shared end: label so every error path in acpi_pci_root_add() clears driver_data before freeing root, and clear it in acpi_pci_root_remove() as well, so the object is never left reachable through driver_data after being freed.
