This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled can: peak_pci: prevent use after free at netdev removal to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From a030585bd21660214f8cd8f89982a695f8fe9143 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Grosjean <s.grosjean@peak-system.com> Date: Tue, 20 May 2014 11:38:56 +0200 Subject: can: peak_pci: prevent use after free at netdev removal commit 0b5a958cf4df3a5cd578b861471e62138f55c85e upstream. As remarked by Christopher R. Baker in his post at http://marc.info/?l=linux-can&m=139707295706465&w=2 there's a possibility for an use after free condition at device removal. This simplified patch introduces an additional variable to prevent the issue. Thanks for catching this. Reported-by: Christopher R.
