Summary
media: netup_unidvb: fix use-after-free at del_timer()
Details

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

media: netupunidvb: fix use-after-free at deltimer()

When Universal DVB card is detaching, netupunidvbdmafini() uses deltimer() to stop dma->timeout timer. But when timer handler netupunidvbdmatimeout() is running, deltimer() could not stop it. As a result, the use-after-free bug could happen. The process is shown below:

(cleanup routine)          |        (timer routine)
                           | mod_timer(&dev->tx_sim_timer, ..)

netupunidvbfinidev() | (wait a time) netupunidvbdmafini() | netupunidvbdmatimeout() deltimer(&dma->timeout); | | ndev->pcidev->dev //USE

Fix by changing deltimer() to deltimer_sync().
