CVE-2022-49029

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

hwmon: (ibmpex) Fix possible UAF when ibmpex_register_bmc() fails

Smatch report warning as follows:

drivers/hwmon/ibmpex.c:509 ibmpex_register_bmc() warn:
  '&data->list' not removed from list

If ibmpex_find_sensors() fails in ibmpex_register_bmc(), data will
be freed, but data->list will not be removed from driver_data.bmc_data,
then list traversal may cause UAF.

Fix by removeing it from driver_data.bmc_data before free().

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
