CVE-2025-39978

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> octeontx2-pf: Fix potential use after free in otx2_tc_add_flow()<br /> <br /> This code calls kfree_rcu(new_node, rcu) and then dereferences "new_node"<br /> and then dereferences it on the next line. Two lines later, we take<br /> a mutex so I don&amp;#39;t think this is an RCU safe region. Re-order it to do<br /> the dereferences before queuing up the free.
