CVE-2024-49852

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

scsi: elx: libefc: Fix potential use after free in efc_nport_vport_del()

The kref_put() function will call nport->release if the refcount drops to
zero.  The nport->release release function is _efc_nport_free() which frees
"nport".  But then we dereference "nport" on the next line which is a use
after free.  Re-order these lines to avoid the use after free.

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
