Summary
Input: ims-pcu - fix use-after-free and double-free in disconnect
Details

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

Input: ims-pcu - fix use-after-free and double-free in disconnect

imspcudisconnect() only intended to perform cleanup when the primary (control) interface is unbound. However, it currently relies on the interface class to distinguish between control and data interfaces. A malicious device could present a data interface with the same class as the control interface, leading to premature cleanup and potential use-after-free or double-free.

Switch to verifying that the interface being disconnected is indeed the control interface.
