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

ubi: fastmap: Fix duplicate slab cache names while attaching

Since commit 4c39529663b9 ("slab: Warn on duplicate cache names when
DEBUG_VM=y"), the duplicate slab cache names can be detected and a
kernel WARNING is thrown out.
In UBI fast attaching process, alloc_ai() could be invoked twice
with the same slab cache name 'ubi_aeb_slab_cache', which will trigger
following warning messages:
 kmem_cache of name 'ubi_aeb_slab_cache' already exists
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 7519 at mm/slab_common.c:107
          __kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0
 Modules linked in: ubi(+) nandsim [last unloaded: nandsim]
 CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 7519 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G 6.12.0-rc2
 RIP: 0010:__kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0
 Call Trace:
   __kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0
   alloc_ai+0x295/0x3f0 [ubi]
   ubi_attach+0x3c3/0xcc0 [ubi]
   ubi_attach_mtd_dev+0x17cf/0x3fa0 [ubi]

   do_init_module+0x265/0x7d0
   __x64_sys_finit_module+0x7a/0xc0

The problem could be easily reproduced by loading UBI device by fastmap
with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y.
Fix it by using different slab names for alloc_ai() callers.
