AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions to reorder the teardown sequence in the can: esd_usb driver, ensuring anchored URBs are killed before freeing netdevs. Applying the official kernel updates from the vendor or distribution is the recommended remediation. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's can: esd_usb driver was resolved by reordering the teardown sequence to kill anchored USB Request Blocks (URBs) before freeing CAN network devices. The flaw involved dereferencing freed memory during device disconnection, which could lead to system compromise. This issue affects specific Linux kernel versions and has a CVSS score of 7.8, indicating a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A patch is available and should be applied to affected systems.
