Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
HID: intel-ish-hid: Fix use-after-free issue in hid_ishtp_cl_remove()<br />
<br />
During the `rmmod` operation for the `intel_ishtp_hid` driver, a<br />
use-after-free issue can occur in the hid_ishtp_cl_remove() function.<br />
The function hid_ishtp_cl_deinit() is called before ishtp_hid_remove(),<br />
which can lead to accessing freed memory or resources during the<br />
removal process.<br />
<br />

...<br />
<br />
Additionally, ishtp_hid_remove() is a HID level power off, which should<br />
occur before the ISHTP level disconnect.<br />
<br />
This patch resolves the issue by reordering the calls in<br />
hid_ishtp_cl_remove(). The function ishtp_hid_remove() is now<br />
called before hid_ishtp_cl_deinit().
