CVE-2025-39859

EUVD-2025-30341
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ptp: ocp: fix use-after-free bugs causing by ptp_ocp_watchdog

The ptp_ocp_detach() only shuts down the watchdog timer if it is
pending. However, if the timer handler is already running, the
timer_delete_sync() is not called. This leads to race conditions
where the devlink that contains the ptp_ocp is deallocated while
the timer handler is still accessing it, resulting in use-after-free
bugs. The following details one of the race scenarios.

(thread 1)                           | (thread 2)
ptp_ocp_remove()                     |
  ptp_ocp_detach()                   | ptp_ocp_watchdog()
    if (timer_pending(&bp->watchdog))|   bp = timer_container_of()
      timer_delete_sync()            |
                                     |
  devlink_free(devlink) //free       |
                                     |   bp-> //use

Resolve this by unconditionally calling timer_delete_sync() to ensure
the timer is reliably deactivated, preventing any access after free.
