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

staging: most: video: avoid double free on video register failure

comp_register_videodev() allocates a video_device with
video_device_alloc() and releases it if video_register_device() fails.

This can double free the video_device when __video_register_device()
reaches device_register() and that call fails:

  video_register_device()
    -> __video_register_device()
       -> device_register() fails
          -> put_device(&vdev->dev)
             -> v4l2_device_release()
                -> vdev->release(vdev)
                   -> video_device_release(vdev)

  comp_register_videodev()
    -> video_device_release(mdev->vdev)

Use video_device_release_empty() while registering the device so that
registration failure paths do not free mdev->vdev through vdev->release().
comp_register_videodev() then releases mdev->vdev exactly once on failure.
Restore video_device_release() after successful registration so the
registered device keeps its normal lifetime handling.

This issue was found by a static analysis tool I am developing.
