Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gtp: add synchronize_net() in gtp_newlink() error path to prevent use-after-free gtp_newlink()'s error path frees tid_hash and addr_hash without waiting for an RCU grace period after clearing sk_user_data. A concurrent gtp_encap_recv() in softirq may still hold the gtp_dev pointer obtained via rcu_dereference_sk_user_data() and access the freed memory. BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in gtp0_pdp_find+0x1f6/0x200 (gtp.c:152) Call Trace: <IRQ> gtp0_pdp_find+0x1f6/0x200 gtp_encap_recv+0x527/0x24b0 udp_queue_rcv_one_skb+0x75f/0xc10 Add synchronize_net() before the kfree calls in out_hashtable, which covers all error paths from both gtp_encap_enable() and gtp_create_sockets().
