      <title>CVE-2025-68312 — usbnet: Prevents free active kevent</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-68312</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;usbnet: Prevents free active kevent&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The root cause of this issue are:
1. When probing the usbnet device, executing usbnet_link_change(dev, 0, 0);
put the kevent work in global workqueue. However, the kevent has not yet
been scheduled when the usbnet device is unregistered. Therefore, executing
free_netdev() results in the &amp;#34;free active object (kevent)&amp;#34; error reported
here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Another factor is that when calling usbnet_disconnect()-&amp;gt;unregister_netdev(),
if the usbnet device is up, ndo_stop() is executed to cancel the kevent.
However, because the device is not up, ndo_stop() is not executed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The solution to this problem is to cancel the kevent before executing
free_netdev().&lt;/p&gt;</description>
