Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: decrease cached dst counters in dst_release<br />
<br />
Upstream fix ac888d58869b ("net: do not delay dst_entries_add() in<br />
dst_release()") moved decrementing the dst count from dst_destroy to<br />
dst_release to avoid accessing already freed data in case of netns<br />
dismantle. However in case CONFIG_DST_CACHE is enabled and OvS+tunnels<br />
are used, this fix is incomplete as the same issue will be seen for<br />
cached dsts:<br />
<br />
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff5aabf6b5c000<br />
Call trace:<br />

<br />
Fix this by invalidating the cache, and thus decrementing cached dst<br />
counters, in dst_release too.
