In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: Fix use-after-free in acpi_ut_copy_ipackage_to_ipackage()
There is an use-after-free reported by KASAN:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in acpi_ut_remove_reference+0x3b/0x82
Read of size 1 at addr ffff888112afc460 by task modprobe/2111
CPU: 0 PID: 2111 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 6.1.0-rc7-dirty
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996),
Call Trace:

</TASK>
The root cause of the problem is that the acpi_operand_object
is freed when acpi_ut_walk_package_tree() fails in
acpi_ut_copy_ipackage_to_ipackage(), lead to repeated release in
acpi_ut_copy_iobject_to_iobject(). The problem was introduced
by "8aa5e56eeb61" commit, this commit is to fix memory leak in
acpi_ut_copy_iobject_to_iobject(), repeatedly adding remove
operation, lead to "acpi_operand_object" used after free.
Fix it by removing acpi_ut_remove_reference() in
acpi_ut_copy_ipackage_to_ipackage(). acpi_ut_copy_ipackage_to_ipackage()
is called to copy an internal package object into another internal
package object, when it fails, the memory of acpi_operand_object
should be freed by the caller.
