## Overview

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

media: uvcvideo: Fix double free in error path

If the uvc_status_init() function fails to allocate the int_urb, it will
free the dev->status pointer but doesn't reset the pointer to NULL. This
results in the kfree() call in uvc_status_cleanup() trying to
double-free the memory. Fix it by resetting the dev->status pointer to
NULL after freeing it.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 2.6.28, < 6.1.129`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.76`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.12.13`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.13, < 6.13.2`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:
