GHSA-9XFQ-QG8Q-Q648
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-24 12:30 – Updated: 2025-12-24 12:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mrp: introduce active flags to prevent UAF when applicant uninit
The caller of del_timer_sync must prevent restarting of the timer, If we have no this synchronization, there is a small probability that the cancellation will not be successful.
And syzbot report the fellowing crash:

To fix it, we can introduce a new active flags to make sure the timer will not restart.
