CVE-2023-52475

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Input: powermate - fix use-after-free in powermate_config_complete

syzbot has found a use-after-free bug [1] in the powermate driver. This
happens when the device is disconnected, which leads to a memory free from
the powermate_device struct.  When an asynchronous control message
completes after the kfree and its callback is invoked, the lock does not
exist anymore and hence the bug.

Use usb_kill_urb() on pm->config to cancel any in-progress requests upon
device disconnection.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
