Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-12-27 14:05:15 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

um: vector: Do not use drvdata in release

The drvdata is not available in release. Let's just use container_of()
to get the vector_device instance. Otherwise, removing a vector device
will result in a crash:
