Amendment

The SLES security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for SLES:15.2.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt_debug-devel package and not the kernel-rt_debug-devel package as distributed by SLES.

hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.4 calls unregister_netdev without checking for the NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free.
