Subject: [PATCH] ipmi: fix use after free in _ipmi_destroy_user()
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2022 16:17:43 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y3M8xa1drZv4CToE@kili> (raw)

The intf_free() function frees the "intf" pointer so we cannot
dereference it again on the next line.

Fixes: cbb79863fc31 ("ipmi: Don't allow device module unload when in use")
