The driver was clearing its struct usb_device pointer, which it used as
an inverted disconnected flag, before deregistering the character device
and without serialising against racing release().
This could lead to a use-after-free if a racing release() callback
observes the cleared pointer and frees the driver data before
disconnect() is finished with it.
This could also lead to NULL-pointer dereferences in a racing open().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
