[ Upstream commit 4172385b0c9ac366dcab78eda48c26814b87ed1a ] A race condition may occur between the .disconnect function, which is called when the device is disconnected, and the dvb_device_open() function, which is called when the device node is open()ed. This results in several types of UAFs. The root cause of this is that you use the dvb_device_open() function, which does not implement a conditional statement that checks 'dvbnet->exit'. So, add 'remove_mutex` to protect 'dvbnet->exit' and use locked_dvb_net_open() function to check 'dvbnet->exit'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
