However, it is already removed from the\nrequest_queue and reference count is dropped so when\ntb_cfg_request_work() triggers again it will access memory that is\nalready released.\n\nFix this so that we first make sure a cancelled request is not handed\naway from tb_cfg_request_find() or scheduled to run. Then instead of\nrelying on the worker to clean up the request we will do it in\ntb_cfg_request_cancel() after the work is canceled from running. Make\ntb_cfg_request_dequeue() release the request only if it was actually\nremoved from the queue.", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "d7f781bfdbf4eb7c5706c9974b8bf6d3c82e69c1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "b70b9c41f240c42bf6e728034537c0fe60c16ef4" }, { "version": "d7f781bfdbf4eb7c5706c9974b8bf6d3c82e69c1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "71b3c517e02af2c46ad58d4b3706b7c3cb24936d" }, { "version": "d7f781bfdbf4eb7c5706c9974b8bf6d3c82e69c1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "f18faa3d3b810d60a3005ae1b1d1866faa67d343" }, { "version": "d7f781bfdbf4eb7c5706c9974b8bf6d3c82e69c1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "08287212b622039212c972806f896f078dfd28e2" }, { "version": "d7f781bfdbf4eb7c5706c9974b8bf6d3c82e69c1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "a02188ddc24b7872f0c5e0c5873f827318717803" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "4.13", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.13" }, { "version": "6.6.160", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.12.113", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.18.56", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*" }, { "version": "7.2.10", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*" }, { "version": "7.3", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
