But there are no functions in pn532_uart_remove() that\ncould delete the cmd_timeout timer, which will cause use-after-free\nbugs. The process is shown below:\n\n    (thread 1)                  |        (thread 2)\n                                |  pn532_uart_send_frame\npn532_uart_remove               |    mod_timer(&pn532->cmd_timeout,...)\n  ...                           |    (wait a time)\n  kfree(pn532) //FREE           |    pn532_cmd_timeout\n                                |      pn532_uart_send_frame\n                                |        pn532->... //USE\n\nThis patch adds del_timer_sync() in pn532_uart_remove() in order to\nprevent the use-after-free bugs. What's more, the pn53x_unregister_nfc()\nis well synchronized, it sets nfc_dev->shutting_down to true and there\nare no syscalls could restart the cmd_timeout timer.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-416"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2c71f5d55a86fd5969428abf525c1ae6b1c7b0f5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50403ee6daddf0d7a14e9d3b51a377c39a08ec8c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9c34c33893db7a80d0e4b55c23d3b65e29609cfb","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f1e941dbf80a9b8bab0bffbc4cbe41cc7f4c6fb6"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:03:23.287444849+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-50005","score":0.00252,"percentile":0.16685,"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).
