Generally, kthread_stop() is called\nfirst, and in this case, no particular issues occur.\n\nHowever, in rare instances where kthread_complete_and_exit() is called\nfirst and then kthread_stop() is called, a UAF occurs because the kthread\nobject, which has already exited and been freed, is accessed again.\n\nTherefore, to prevent this with minimal modification, you must remove\nkthread_stop() and change the code to wait until the self-exit operation\nis completed.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-05-28T09:36:41.427+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-15T01:21:10.806+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
