In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: misc: usbio: fix disconnect UAF in client teardown
usbiodisconnect() walks usbio->clilist in reverse and uninitializes each auxiliary device. auxiliarydeviceuninit() drops the device reference, and for an unbound child that can run usbioauxdevrelease() and free the containing struct usbio_client.
listforeachentryreverse() advances after the loop body by reading client->link.prev. If the current client is freed by auxiliarydeviceuninit(), the iterator dereferences freed memory.
Use listforeachentrysafe_reverse() so the previous client is cached before the body can drop the final reference. This preserves reverse teardown order while keeping the next iterator cursor independent of the current client's lifetime.
Validation reproduced this kernel report: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in usbio_disconnect+0x12e/0x150
