CVE-2022-48872

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's fastrpc.c driver caused by a race condition created when calling the function fastrpc_map_get() until map->fl->lock is taken in the fastrpc_free_map() function. During this call another thread could call the function fastrpc_map_lookup() and receive a reference to a map that is about to be deleted. This could lead to a use-after-free condition, potentially leading to memory corruption or system instability.
