Subject: Re: [PATCH 5.10 092/599] drivers: hamradio: 6pack: fix UAF bug caused
 by mod_timer()

Hi.

Maybe there are some errors  in LTS.  The follow test is UAF in 5.10.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20151217213400.GA15130@linux-mips.org/T/

These two patches which showed up in v5.16-rc1 can solve this problem.

The first is 0b9111922b1f ("hamradio: defer 6pack kfree after 
unregister_netdev").
The second is 81b1d548d00b ("hamradio: remove needs_free_netdev to avoid 
UAF").

These patches make unregister_netdev() not call free_netdev() and then 
call it after
free all 6pack frame buffers.

I'll send these patches soon to fix 5.10 for reference.
