Or we can just defer the\ndestructive operation like other commit 3e0588c291d6 (\"hamradio: defer\nax25 kfree after unregister_netdev\") which let the\nieee802154_unregister_hw() to handle the synchronization. This patch\ntakes the second option.\n\nruns\")","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":4.7},"cwes":["CWE-362","CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/15f3b89bd521d5770d36a61fc04a77c293138ba6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/23a29932715ca43bceb2eae1bdb770995afe7271","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9f8558c5c642c62c450c98c99b7d18a709fff485","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/afe7116f6d3b888778ed6d95e3cf724767b9aedf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bed12d7531df1417fc92c691999ff95e03835008"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:03:23.287444849+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-49968","score":0.00226,"percentile":0.13389,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
