When freeing rx_cb->rx_skb, the pointer is not set to NULL, a later rsi_rx_done_handler call will try to read the freed address. This bug will very likley lead to double free, although detected early as use-after-free bug. The bug is triggerable with a compromised/malfunctional usb device. After applying the patch, the same input no longer triggers the use-after-free. Attached is the kasan report from fuzzing.
