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

    net: davicom: fix UAF in dm9000_drv_remove

    dm is netdev private data and it cannot be
    used after free_netdev() call. Using dm after free_netdev()
    can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() at the end of the
    function.

    This is similar to the issue fixed in commit
    ad297cd2db89 (“net: qcom/emac: fix UAF in emac_remove”).
