In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: misc_minor_alloc to use ida for all dynamic/misc dynamic minors
misc_minor_alloc was allocating id using ida for minor only in case of
MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR but misc_minor_free was always freeing ids
using ida_free causing a mismatch and following warn:
> > WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 159 at lib/idr.c:525 ida_free+0x3e0/0x41f
> > ida_free called for id=127 which is not allocated.
