RSA text data uses variable length buffer allocated in software stack. Calling kfree on it causes undefined behaviour in subsequent operations.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org #6.7+
The cc: says 6.7 and newer, and yet you are wanting this for 6.6.y? Why? Why ignore what the author asked for?

I want to backport it to fix CVE-2024-39478.
Again, how do you know that that CVE is relevant for kernels older than 6.7.y? Have you tested this? Have you proved that 6.6.y needs this? If not, there's no way we can take it, nor would you want us to take it, right?
thanks,
