Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: avoid potential UAF in default_operstate()

syzbot reported an UAF in default_operstate() [1]

Issue is a race between device and netns dismantles.

After calling __rtnl_unlock() from netdev_run_todo(), we can not assume the netns of each device is still alive.

Make sure the device is not in NETREG_UNREGISTERED state, and add an ASSERT_RTNL() before the call to __dev_get_by_index().

We might move this ASSERT_RTNL() in __dev_get_by_index() in the future.
