Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: fix possible use-after-free in smsc75xx_bind The commit 46a8b29c6306 ("net: usb: fix memory leak in smsc75xx_bind")
fails to clean up the work scheduled in smsc75xx_reset->
smsc75xx_set_multicast, which leads to use-after-free if the work is
scheduled to start after the deallocation. In addition, this patch
also removes a dangling pointer - dev->data[0]. This patch calls cancel_work_sync to cancel the scheduled work and set
the dangling pointer to NULL.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net:usb: corrige posible use after free en smsc75xx_bind. La confirmación 46a8b29c6306 ("net:usb: corrige la pérdida de memoria en smsc75xx_bind") no logra limpiar el trabajo programado en smsc75xx_reset -> smsc75xx_set_multicast, lo que genera use after free si el trabajo está programado para comenzar después de la desasignación. Además, este parche también elimina un puntero colgante: dev->data[0]. Este parche llama a cancel_work_sync para cancelar el trabajo programado y establecer el puntero colgante en NULL.
