In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: fix statistics allocation
The controller per-cpu statistics is not allocated until after the controller has been registered with driver core, which leaves a window where accessing the sysfs attributes can trigger a NULL-pointer dereference.
Fix this by moving the statistics allocation to controller allocation while tying its lifetime to that of the controller (rather than using implicit devres).
