CVE-2022-48873

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's fastrpc.c driver where removing maps from the list on error path in the functions fastrpc_init_create_process() or fastrpc_device_release() could lead to a use-after-free flaw because this removal is done without first ensuring that it is safe to do (i.e. that there are no references to the mapping elsewhere). This vulnerability could lead to memory corruption or system instability.
