Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's net: ravb module. A race condition exists during the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) clock teardown. This allows the ravb_ptp_interrupt() function to attempt to use a PTP clock after it has been freed by ptp_clock_unregister(), leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. This could result in system instability, denial of service, or potentially information disclosure.
