Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.15] mailbox: mailbox-test: Fix potential double-free in mbox_test_message_write()

From: Lee Jones <lee@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 2d1e952a2b8e5e92d8d55ac88a7cf7ca5ea591ad ]

If a user can make copy_from_user() fail, there is a potential for
UAF/DF due to a lack of locking around the allocation, use and freeing
of the data buffers.

This issue is not theoretical.  I managed to author a POC for it:
