Description:
 There is a use-after-free in kernel versions before 5.5 due to a race
 condition between the release of ptp_clock and cdev while resource
 deallocation. When a (high privileged) process allocates a ptp device file
 (like /dev/ptpX) and voluntarily goes to sleep. During this time if the
 underlying device is removed, it can cause an exploitable condition as the
 process wakes up to terminate and clean all attached files. The system
 crashes due to the cdev structure being invalid (as already freed) which is
 pointed to by the inode.
Ubuntu-Description:
 It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Precision Time
 Protocol (PTP) implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-
 free vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a
 denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
