Subject: tty: n_gsm: fix UAF in gsm_cleanup_mux
From: Chaoyuan Peng <hedonistsmith@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 9b9c8195f3f0d74a826077fc1c01b9ee74907239 upstream.
In gsm_cleanup_mux() the 'gsm->dlci' pointer was not cleaned properly,
leaving it a dangling pointer after gsm_dlci_release.
This leads to use-after-free where 'gsm->dlci[0]' are freed and accessed
by the subsequent gsm_cleanup_mux().
Such is the case in the following call trace:
