In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: virt_wifi: remove SET_NETDEV_DEV to avoid use-after-free
Currently we execute SET_NETDEV_DEV(dev, &priv->lowerdev->dev) for
the virt_wifi net devices. However, unregistering a virt_wifi device in
netdev_run_todo() can happen together with the device referenced by
SET_NETDEV_DEV().
It can result in use-after-free during the ethtool operations performed
on a virt_wifi device that is currently being unregistered. Such a net
device can have the dev.parent field pointing to the freed memory,
but ethnl_ops_begin() calls pm_runtime_get_sync(dev->dev.parent).
Let's remove SET_NETDEV_DEV for virt_wifi to avoid bugs like this:

This fix may be combined with another one in the ethtool subsystem:

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's virt_wifi component. A local user can exploit a race condition during the unregistration of a virt_wifi network device, where its parent pointer might refer to freed memory during ethtool operations. This use-after-free vulnerability can lead to system instability or a denial of service.
