Subject: netfilter: fix a race in nf_ct_ext_create()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=15cdeadaa5d76009e20c7792aed69f5a73808f97;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

netfilter: fix a race in nf_ct_ext_create()

As soon as rcu_read_unlock() is called, there is no guarantee current
thread can safely derefence t pointer, rcu protected.

Fix is to copy t->alloc_size in a temporary variable.
