In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/vc4: Shut down BO cache timer before teardown

The BO cache timer callback schedules time_work, and time_work can rearm
the timer through vc4_bo_cache_free_old().

vc4_bo_cache_destroy() deletes the timer and then cancels the work, which
does not break that cycle: the work being cancelled can rearm the timer,
and the timer then queues work again after teardown.

Use timer_shutdown_sync() instead, so the timer cannot be rearmed and the
cycle ends with cancel_work_sync().
