Vulnerability Description

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

binder: fix freeze UAF in binder_release_work()

When a binder reference is cleaned up, any freeze work queued in the
associated process should also be removed. Otherwise, the reference is
freed while its ref->freeze.work is still queued in proc->work leading
to a use-after-free issue as shown by the following KASAN report:
