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

net: mctp: i3c: serialize probe with bus removal

mctp_i3c_probe() drops busdevs_lock after finding the matching bus. A
concurrent I3C_NOTIFY_BUS_REMOVE can then unregister and free the bus
netdev before probe passes its private data to mctp_i3c_add_device().
The latter consequently adds a list node through a freed mbus pointer.

Keep busdevs_lock held until the device has been added. This also
satisfies the __must_hold annotation on mctp_i3c_add_device().
