Описание
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netpoll module. During the system shutdown process, a race condition can occur where a network transmission worker attempts to access memory that has already been deallocated. This use-after-free vulnerability can lead to system instability, causing a denial of service (DoS) by crashing the system.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netpoll: fix a use-after-free on shutdown path There is a use-after-free error on netpoll, which is clearly detected by KASAN.
