Subject: CVE-2023-52439: uio: Fix use-after-free in uio_open

Description
===========

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

uio: Fix use-after-free in uio_open

core-1				core-2
-------------------------------------------------------
uio_unregister_device		uio_open
				idev = idr_find()
device_unregister(&idev->dev)
put_device(&idev->dev)
uio_device_release
				get_device(&idev->dev)
kfree(idev)
uio_free_minor(minor)
				uio_release
				put_device(&idev->dev)
				kfree(idev)
-------------------------------------------------------

In the core-1 uio_unregister_device(), the device_unregister will kfree
idev when the idev->dev kobject ref is 1. But after core-1
device_unregister, put_device and before doing kfree, the core-2 may
get_device. Then:
1. After core-1 kfree idev, the core-2 will do use-after-free for idev.
2. When core-2 do uio_release and put_device, the idev will be double
   freed.

To address this issue, we can get idev atomic & inc idev reference with
minor_lock.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52439 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
