From 07a5d38453599052aff0877b16bb9c1585f08609 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francesco Ruggeri Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2016 00:18:48 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: possible use after free in dst_release dst_release should not access dst->flags after decrementing __refcnt to 0. The dst_entry may be in dst_busy_list and dst_gc_task may dst_destroy it before dst_release gets a chance to access dst->flags. Fixes: d69bbf88c8d0 ("net: fix a race in dst_release()") Fixes: 27b75c95f10d ("net: avoid RCU for NOCACHE dst") Signed-off-by: Francesco Ruggeri Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
