In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watchdog: Fix possible use-after-free by calling del_timer_sync() This
driver’s remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function does not
wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the timer handler
may still be running after the driver’s remove function has finished, which
would result in a use-after-free. Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which
makes sure the timer handler has finished, and unable to re-schedule
itself.
