Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: cx23885: cancel NetUP CI work before teardown netup_ci_exit() frees a netup_ci_state while its work item, netup_read_ci_status(), may still be pending or running on the system workqueue. The worker obtains the state with container_of() and dereferences it, so it must not outlive the state. netup_ci_init() queues the initial status read, and CI GPIO interrupts subsequently queue the same work from netup_ci_slot_status()
