Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-39495
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a use-after-free bug in the `gb interface release` function due to a race condition. This occurs when `gb interface create` binds `&intf->mode switch completion` with `gb interface mode switch work`, which is then started by `gb interface request mode switch`. If `gb interface release` is called to make cleanup, there may be an unfinished work, and if `gb interface mode switch work` is scheduled to run after `kfree`, it may cause a use-after-free error. The exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
