Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drbd: Fix five use after free bugs in get_initial_state<br />
<br />
In get_initial_state, it calls notify_initial_state_done(skb,..) if<br />
cb->args[5]==1. If genlmsg_put() failed in notify_initial_state_done(),<br />
the skb will be freed by nlmsg_free(skb).<br />
Then get_initial_state will goto out and the freed skb will be used by<br />
return value skb->len, which is a uaf bug.<br />
<br />
What&#39;s worse, the same problem goes even further: skb can also be<br />
freed in the notify_*_state_change -> notify_*_state calls below.<br />
Thus 4 additional uaf bugs happened.<br />
<br />
My patch lets the problem callee functions: notify_initial_state_done<br />
and notify_*_state_change return an error code if errors happen.<br />
So that the error codes could be propagated and the uaf bugs can be avoid.<br />
<br />
v2 reports a compilation warning. This v3 fixed this warning and built<br />
successfully in my local environment with no additional warnings.<br />
