Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description A use-after-free issue exists in the enic driver during device removal. The enic remove() function fails to cancel the tx hang reset work item. If a TX timeout occurs while the device is being removed, the enic tx hang reset() function may be scheduled to run after free netdev(), leading to a use-after-free condition. This occurs because cancel work sync() does not prevent the watchdog and notify paths from rescheduling work items before unregister netdev() is called.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
