CVE-2021-47311

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Qualcomm EMAC driver, where the emac_remove function can lead to a use-after-free issue when the driver tries to access data after the network device has been freed, causing instability and a crash in the network subsystem.

This vulnerability is rated as a moderate severity because the use-after-free can disrupt the network operations, leading to potential service interruptions, but it does not directly expose sensitive data; it may result in system instability.
