Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: hold net_device reference under RCU in bundle creation xfrm_bundle_create() and xfrm_create_dummy_bundle() read dst->dev into a local pointer without taking a device reference, then pass it to xfrm_fill_dst(). A concurrent RTM_DELLINK replaces dst->dev via dst_dev_put() and frees the old net_device, causing a use-after-free when xfrm6_fill_dst() later dereferences the stale dev pointer. BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free
