Then it will be started by\ngb_interface_request_mode_switch. Here is the relevant code.\nif (!queue_work(system_long_wq, &intf->mode_switch_work)) {\n\t...\n}\n\nIf we call gb_interface_release to make cleanup, there may be an\nunfinished work. This function will call kfree to free the object\n\"intf\". However, if gb_interface_mode_switch_work is scheduled to\nrun after kfree, it may cause use-after-free error as\ngb_interface_mode_switch_work will use the object \"intf\".\nThe possible execution flow that may lead to the issue is as follows:\n\nCPU0                            CPU1\n\n                            |   gb_interface_create\n                            |   gb_interface_request_mode_switch\ngb_interface_release        |\nkfree(intf) (free)          |\n                            |   gb_interface_mode_switch_work\n                            |   mutex_lock(&intf->mutex) (use)\n\nFix it by canceling the work before kfree.","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/03ea2b129344152157418929f06726989efc0445","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0b8fba38bdfb848fac52e71270b2aa3538c996ea","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b6bb0b4abfd79b8698ee161bb73c0936a2aaf83","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5c9c5d7f26acc2c669c1dcf57d1bb43ee99220ce","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/74cd0a421896b2e07eafe7da4275302bfecef201"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:52:42.518321223+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-39495","score":0.00322,"percentile":0.25265,"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).
