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

thunderbolt: Fix KASAN reported use-after-free when request is canceled

Alan reported that when doing stress testing sometimes KASAN notices
use-after-free during control channel operation (stripped down keeping
the relevant parts):

The last stack trace is helpful because it shows that we are cancelling
a request and looking at tb_cfg_request_cancel() what might happen is
that tb_cfg_request_work() completes right before tb_cfg_request_cancel()
starts and because of this it will call schedule_work() queueing the
same work to run again. However, it is already removed from the
request_queue and reference count is dropped so when
tb_cfg_request_work() triggers again it will access memory that is
already released.

Fix this so that we first make sure a cancelled request is not handed
away from tb_cfg_request_find() or scheduled to run. Then instead of
relying on the worker to clean up the request we will do it in
tb_cfg_request_cancel() after the work is canceled from running. Make
tb_cfg_request_dequeue() release the request only if it was actually
removed from the queue.
