Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.24%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: macb: fix use after free on rmmod plat_dev->dev->platform_data is released by platform_device_unregister(), use of pclk and hclk is a use-after-free. Since device unregister won't need a clk device we adjust the function call sequence to fix this issue. [ 31.261225] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in macb_remove+0x77/0xc6 [macb_pci] [ 31.275563] Freed by task 306: [ 30.276782] platform_device_release+0x25/0x80
