In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: renesas_usbhs: fix use-after-free in ISR during device removal In usbhs_remove(), the driver frees resources (including the pipe array) while the interrupt handler (usbhs_interrupt) is still registered. If an interrupt fires after usbhs_pipe_remove() but before the driver is fully unbound, the ISR may access freed memory, causing a use-after-free. Fix this by calling devm_free_irq() before freeing resources. This ensures the interrupt handler is both disabled and synchronized (waits for any running ISR to complete) before usbhs_pipe_remove() is called.
