In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wan: farsync: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by unfinished tasklets
When the FarSync T-series card is being detached, the fst_card_info is
deallocated in fst_remove_one(). However, the fst_tx_task or fst_int_task
may still be running or pending, leading to use-after-free bugs when the
already freed fst_card_info is accessed in fst_process_tx_work_q() or
fst_process_int_work_q().
A typical race condition is depicted below:
CPU 0 (cleanup) | CPU 1 (tasklet)
| fst_start_xmit()
fst_remove_one() | tasklet_schedule()
unregister_hdlc_device()|
| fst_process_tx_work_q() //handler
kfree(card) //free | do_bottom_half_tx()
| card-> //use
