In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: atm:
iphase: fix possible use-after-free in ia_module_exit() This module’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.
