CVE-2024-49986

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

platform/x86: x86-android-tablets: Fix use after free on platform_device_register() errors

x86_android_tablet_remove() frees the pdevs[] array, so it should not
be used after calling x86_android_tablet_remove().

When platform_device_register() fails, store the pdevs[x] PTR_ERR() value
into the local ret variable before calling x86_android_tablet_remove()
to avoid using pdevs[] after it has been freed.

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
