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

media: mtk-jpeg: Fix use after free bug due to uncanceled work

In mtk_jpeg_probe, &jpeg->job_timeout_work is bound with
mtk_jpeg_job_timeout_work. Then mtk_jpeg_dec_device_run
and mtk_jpeg_enc_device_run may be called to start the
work.
If we remove the module which will call mtk_jpeg_remove
to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work. The
possible sequence is as follows, which will cause a
typical UAF bug.

Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in the mtk_jpeg_remove
