Description Rohit Keshri 2023-11-08 19:12:02 UTC

There are use-after-free vulnerabilities in drivers/net/usb/lan78xx.c of 
linux that allow attacker to crash linux kernel when LAN78XX USB device 
is detaching.

The timer dev->stat_monitor can schedule the delayed work dev->wq and
the delayed work dev->wq can also arm the dev->stat_monitor timer.

When the device is detaching, the net_device will be deallocated. But
the net_device private data could still be dereferenced in delayed work
or timer handler. As a result, the UAF bugs will happen.
