CVE-2022-48782

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel in the mctp_route_input() function, where a lack of proper checks allows a potential use-after-free scenario to occur when the function mctp_key_add() fails and frees the key object's memory, which the function trace_mctp_key_acquire() then attempts to access. This could lead to memory corruption or crashes.
