In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panthor: Fix UAF race between device unplug and FW event processing
The function panthor_fw_unplug() will free the FW memory sections.
The problem is that there could still be pending FW events which are yet
not handled at this point. process_fw_events_work() can in this case try
to access said freed memory.
Simply call disable_work_sync() to both drain and prevent future
invocation of process_fw_events_work().
