Created: May 12, 2026    Updated: May 14, 2026
Found In Version: 10.25.33.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 25
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  net: macb: fix clk handling on PCI glue driver removal  platform_device_unregister() may still want to use the registered clks during runtime resume callback.  Note that there is a commit d82d5303c4c5 ("net: macb: fix use after free on rmmod") that addressed the similar problem of clk vs platform device unregistration but just moved the bug to another place.  Save the pointers to clks into local variables for reuse after platform device is unregistered.
