[PATCH 4.9 12/80] staging: gdm724x: gdm_mux: fix use-after-free on module unload

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 18 2017 - 07:29:23 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b58f45c8fc301fe83ee28cad3e64686c19e78f1c upstream.

Make sure to deregister the USB driver before releasing the tty driver
to avoid use-after-free in the USB disconnect callback where the tty
devices are deregistered.
