Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: Fix use-after-free in tipc_mon_reinit_self().
syzbot reported use-after-free of tipc_net(net)->monitors[] in tipc_mon_reinit_self(). [0]
The array is protected by RTNL, but tipc_mon_reinit_self() iterates over it without RTNL.
tipc_mon_reinit_self() is called from tipc_net_finalize(), which is always under RTNL except for tipc_net_finalize_work().
Let's hold RTNL in tipc_net_finalize_work().
