This allows delayed works to\naccess the freed amt_dev structure after the netdev has been released.\n\nThe following is a simple race scenario:\n\nCPU0                         CPU1\n\namt_dev_stop()\ncancel_delayed_work_sync()\n                             amt_event_work()\n                             mod_delayed_work(req_wq)\nfree netdev\n                             req_wq accesses freed amt_dev\n\nUse disable_delayed_work_sync() in amt_dev_stop() to prevent req_wq and\ndiscovery_wq from being queued again and wait for running work items\nto complete.\n\nThe delayed works are disabled after initialization in\namt_newlink() and enabled only when the device is successfully opened.\nThis keeps the delayed work lifecycle synchronized with the lifetime\nof the AMT device.","published":"2026-08-10T13:20:01.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-17T05:18:15.000Z","status":"Received","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":[],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00134,"percentile":0.02897,"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 (0.13%).
