## Overview

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

sh: intc: Fix use-after-free bug in register_intc_controller()

In the error handling for this function, d is freed without ever
removing it from intc_list which would lead to a use after free.
To fix this, let's only add it to the list after everything has
succeeded.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 2.6.30, < 4.19.325`
- `linux_kernel >= 4.20, < 5.4.287`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.5, < 5.10.231`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.174`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.120`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.64`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.11.11`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.12, < 6.12.2`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.12.2`
