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.
