Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bus: mhi: pci_generic: Fix possible use-after-free in mhi_pci_remove()<br />
<br />
This driver&#39;s remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function<br />
does not wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the<br />
timer handler may still be running after the driver&#39;s remove function<br />
has finished, which would result in a use-after-free.<br />
<br />
Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler<br />
has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself.
