In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:usbnet:fix NPE during rx_completeMissing usbnet_going_away Check in Critical Path.The usb_submit_urb function lacks a usbnet_going_awayvalidation, whereas __usbnet_queue_skb includes this check.This inconsistency creates a race condition where:A URB request may succeed, but the corresponding SKB datafails to be queued.Subsequent processes:(e.g., rx_complete → defer_bh → __skb_unlink(skb, list))attempt to access skb->next, triggering a NULL pointerdereference (Kernel Panic).
