Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: Fix a potential null-ptr-deref in module_add_driver()
Inject fault while probing of-fpga-region, if kasprintf() fails in
module_add_driver(), the second sysfs_remove_link() in exit path will cause
null-ptr-deref as below because kernfs_name_hash() will call strlen() with
NULL driver_name.
Fix it by releasing resources based on the exit path sequence.
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x000000000…
