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

crypto: qat - protect service table iterations with service_lock

The service_table list is protected by service_lock when entries are
added or removed (in adf_service_add() and adf_service_remove()), but
several functions iterate over the list without holding this lock.

A concurrent adf_service_register() or adf_service_unregister() call
could modify the list during traversal, leading to list corruption or
a use-after-free.

Fix this by holding service_lock across all list_for_each_entry()
iterations of service_table in adf_dev_init(), adf_dev_start(),
adf_dev_stop(), adf_dev_shutdown(), adf_dev_restarting_notify(),
adf_dev_restarted_notify(), and adf_error_notifier().

The lock ordering is safe: callers of the static helpers (adf_dev_up()
and adf_dev_down()) acquire state_lock before service_lock, and no
event_hld callback or service_lock holder ever acquires state_lock in
the reverse order.
