In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8712: fix use-after-free in rtl8712dlfw
Syzbot reported use-after-free in rtl8712dlfw(). The problem was in race condition between r871xudevremove() ->ndo_open() callback.
It's easy to see from crash log, that driver accesses released firmware in ->ndoopen() callback. It may happen, since driver was releasing firmware before unregistering netdev. Fix it by moving unregisternetdev() before cleaning up resources.
