Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: defer final 'struct net' free in netns dismantle
Ilya reported a slab-use-after-free in dst_destroy [1]
Issue is in xfrm6_net_init() and xfrm4_net_init() :
They copy xfrm[46]_dst_ops_template into net->xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops.
But net structure might be freed before all the dst callbacks are called. So when dst_destroy() calls later :
if (dst->ops->destroy) dst->ops->destroy(dst);
dst->ops points to the old net->xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops, which has been freed.
See a relevant issue fixed in :
ac888d58869b ("net: do not delay dst_entries_add() in dst_release()")
A fix is to queue the 'struct net' to be freed after one another cleanup_net() round (and existing rcu_barrier())
