What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: venus: fix use after free bug in venus_remove due to race condition

in venus_probe, core->work is bound with venus_sys_error_handler, which is

used to handle error. The code use core->sys_err_done to make sync work.

The core->work is started in venus_event_notify.

If we call venus_remove, there might be an unfished work. The possible

sequence is as follows:

CPU0 CPU1

|venus_sys_error_handler

venus_remove |

hfi_destroy |

venus_hfi_destroy |

kfree(hdev); |

|hfi_reinit

|venus_hfi_queues_reinit

|//use hdev

Fix it by canceling the work in venus_remove.
