In fact, it is not\ncanceled anywhere except in the restart cleanup, where we don't really\nhave to.\n\nThis can cause an init-after-queue issue: if, for example, the work was\nqueued and then drv_change_interface got executed.\n\nThis can also cause use-after-free: if the work is executed after the\nvif is freed.","published":"2026-02-14T17:15:56.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T19:17:41.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-416","CWE-772"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00148,"percentile":0.0395,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.15%).
