Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: seeq: Fix use after free vulnerability in ether3 Driver Due to Race Condition

In the ether3_probe function, a timer is initialized with a callback
function ether3_ledoff, bound to &prev(dev)–>timer. Once the timer is
started, there is a risk of a race condition if the module or device
is removed, triggering the ether3_remove function to perform cleanup.
The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:

CPU0 CPU1

                  |  ether3_ledoff

ether3_remove |
free_netdev(dev); |
put_devic |
kfree(dev); |
| ether3_outw(priv(dev)–>regs.config2 |= CFG2_CTRLO, REG_CONFIG2);

                  | // use dev

Fix it by ensuring that the timer is canceled before proceeding with
the cleanup in ether3_remove.
