In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

staging: rtl8712: fix use-after-free in rtl8712_dl_fw

Syzbot reported use-after-free in rtl8712_dl_fw(). The problem was in race condition between r871xu_dev_remove() ->ndo_open() callback.

It's easy to see from crash log, that driver accesses released firmware in ->ndo_open() callback. It may happen, since driver was releasing firmware before unregistering netdev. Fix it by moving unregister_netdev() before cleaning up resources.
