A fix is available — apply it.

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

mailbox: mailbox-test: don't free the reused channel

The RX channel can be aliased to the TX channel if it has a different MMIO. This special case needs to be handled when freeing the channels otherwise a double-free occurs.
