## Overview

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

media: pvrusb2: fix uaf in pvr2_context_set_notify

[Syzbot reported]

[Analyze]
Task A set disconnect_flag = !0, which resulted in Task B's condition being met
and releasing mp, leading to this issue.

[Fix]
Place the disconnect_flag assignment operation after all code in pvr2_context_disconnect()
to avoid this issue.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 2.6.26, < 4.19.311`

- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.23`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.7.11`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.8, < 6.8.2`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:
