In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: message: mptlan: Fix use after free bug in mptlan_remove() due to race condition mptlan_probe() calls mpt_register_lan_device() which initializes the &priv->post_buckets_task workqueue. A call to mpt_lan_wake_post_buckets_task() will subsequently start the work.
