[PATCH net v2 3/3] ethernet: ucc_geth: fix use-after-free in ucc_geth_remove()

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Fri Dec 18 2020 - 05:58:45 EST


ugeth is the netdiv_priv() part of the netdevice. Accessing the memory
pointed to by ugeth (such as done by ucc_geth_memclean() and the two
of_node_puts) after free_netdev() is thus use-after-free.
