CVE-2024-50059

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

ntb: ntb_hw_switchtec: Fix use after free vulnerability in switchtec_ntb_remove due to race condition

In the switchtec_ntb_add function, it can call switchtec_ntb_init_sndev

function, then &sndev->check_link_status_work is bound with

check_link_status_work. switchtec_ntb_link_notification may be called

to start the work.

If we remove the module which will call switchtec_ntb_remove to make

cleanup, it will free sndev through kfree(sndev), while the work

mentioned above will be used. The sequence of operations that may lead

to a UAF bug is as follows:

CPU0 CPU1

| check_link_status_work

switchtec_ntb_remove |

kfree(sndev); |

| if (sndev->link_force_down)

| // use sndev

Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with

the cleanup in switchtec_ntb_remove.
