Description

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

binder: fix node UAF in binder_add_freeze_work()

In binder_add_freeze_work() we iterate over the proc->nodes with the
proc->inner_lock held. However, this lock is temporarily dropped in
order to acquire the node->lock first (lock nesting order). This can
race with binder_node_release() and trigger a use-after-free:

==================================================================

Fix the race by taking a temporary reference on the node before
releasing the proc->inner lock. This ensures the node remains alive
while in use.
