In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: ucsi: fix use-after-free caused by uec->work The delayed work uec->work is scheduled in gaokun_ucsi_probe() but never properly canceled in gaokun_ucsi_remove(). This creates use-after-free scenarios where the ucsi and gaokun_ucsi structure are freed after ucsi_destroy() completes execution, while the gaokun_ucsi_register_worker() might be either currently executing or still pending in the work queue. The already-freed gaokun_ucsi or ucsi structure may then be accessed. Furthermore, the race window is 3 seconds, which is sufficiently long to make this bug easily reproducible. The following is the trace captured by KASAN: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __run_timers+0x5ec/0x630 Write of size 8 at addr ffff00000ec28cc8 by task swapper/0/0 ...
