In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix double-free in dbitmap
A process might fail to allocate a new bitmap when trying to expand its
proc->dmap. In that case, dbitmap_grow() fails and frees the old bitmap
via dbitmap_free(). However, the driver calls dbitmap_free() again when
the same process terminates, leading to a double-free error:
