Technical description

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

binder: fix yet another UAF in binder_devices

Commit e77aff5528a18 ("binderfs: fix use-after-free in binder_devices")

addressed a use-after-free where devices could be released without first

being removed from the binder_devices list. However, there is a similar

path in binder_free_proc() that was missed:
