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-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.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-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.4. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 3aed987cbac32cee1c98c95ae80058dfcede54d9 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.
