CVE-2022-49968
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ieee802154/adf7242: defer destroy_workqueue call
There is a possible race condition (use-after-free) like below
The root cause for this race is that the upper layer (ieee802154) is unaware of this detaching event and the function adf7242_channel can be called without any checks.
To fix this, we can add a flag write at the beginning of adf7242_remove and add flag check in adf7242_channel. Or we can just defer the destructive operation like other commit 3e0588c291d6 ("hamradio: defer ax25 kfree after unregister_netdev") which let the ieee802154_unregister_hw() to handle the synchronization. This patch takes the second option.
