      <title>CVE-2023-53638 — octeon_ep: cancel queued works in probe error path</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-53638</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;octeon_ep: cancel queued works in probe error path&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it fails to get the devices&amp;#39;s MAC address, octep_probe exits while
leaving the delayed work intr_poll_task queued. When the work later
runs, it&amp;#39;s a use after free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Move the cancelation of intr_poll_task from octep_remove into
octep_device_cleanup. This does not change anything in the octep_remove
flow, but octep_device_cleanup is called also in the octep_probe error
path, where the cancelation is needed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that the cancelation of ctrl_mbox_task has to follow
intr_poll_task&amp;#39;s, because the ctrl_mbox_task may be queued by
intr_poll_task.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
