[PATCH v7 3/3] media: dvb-core: extirpate defective and unsafe ULE debug block

Sat Sep 5 12:44:34 UTC 2026


Completely purge the unmaintained DVB_ULE_DEBUG code block from
dvb_net.c to eliminate severe lockless race conditions and buffer overflow
vulnerabilities on global network state variables.
