Description

The Linux kernel before 6.2.9 has a race condition and resultant use-after-free in drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/emac/emac.c if a physically proximate attacker unplugs an emac based device.
A race condition vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Qualcomm EMAC Gigabit Ethernet Controller when the user physically removes the device before cleanup in the emac_remove function. This flaw can eventually result in a use-after-free issue, possibly leading to a system crash or other undefined behaviors.
