CVE-2025-38176

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

binder: fix use-after-free in binderfs_evict_inode()

Running 'stress-ng --binderfs 16 --timeout 300' under KASAN-enabled
kernel, I've noticed the following:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in binderfs_evict_inode+0x1de/0x2d0

This 'stress-ng' workload causes the concurrent deletions from
'binder_devices' and so requires full-featured synchronization
to prevent list corruption.

I've found this issue independently but pretty sure that syzbot did
the same, so Reported-by: and Closes: should be applicable here as well.

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
