commit c12296bbecc488623b7d1932080e394d08f3226b upstream. In __team_options_register, team_options are allocated and appended to the team's option_list. If one option instance allocation fails, the "inst_rollback" cleanup path frees the previously allocated options but doesn't remove them from the team's option_list. This leaves dangling pointers that can be dereferenced later by other parts of the team driver that iterate over options. This patch fixes the cleanup path to remove the dangling pointers from the list. As far as I can tell, this uaf doesn't have much security implications since it would be fairly hard to exploit (an attacker would need to make the allocation of that specific small object fail) but it's still nice to fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
