In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
tipc: Fix use-after-free of kernel socket in cleanup_bearer().<br />
<br />
syzkaller reported a use-after-free of UDP kernel socket<br />
in cleanup_bearer() without repro. [0][1]<br />
<br />
When bearer_disable() calls tipc_udp_disable(), cleanup<br />
of the UDP kernel socket is deferred by work calling<br />
cleanup_bearer().<br />
<br />
tipc_exit_net() waits for such works to finish by checking<br />
tipc_net(net)->wq_count. However, the work decrements the<br />
count too early before releasing the kernel socket,<br />
unblocking cleanup_net() and resulting in use-after-free.<br />
<br />
Let&#39;s move the decrement after releasing the socket in<br />
cleanup_bearer().<br />
