Subject: [PATCH] USB Serial: fix use-after-free bug in usb-serial core
Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2006 13:25:52 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060306212552.GA16432@kroah.com> (raw)
This fixes a use-after-free bug in the usb-serial core. It is simple to
trigger this (open a usb-serial port, then yank the device out before
closing the port.) Thanks to Stefan Seyfried <seife@suse.de> for
reporting this, and to the slab debugging code which enabled it to be
tracked down.
