Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: Fix use-after-free of kernel socket in cleanup_bearer().
syzkaller reported a use-after-free of UDP kernel socket
in cleanup_bearer() without repro. [0][1]
When bearer_disable() calls tipc_udp_disable(), cleanup
of the UDP kernel socket is deferred by work calling
cleanup_bearer().
tipc_exit_net() waits for such works to finish by checking
tipc_net(net)->wq_count. However, the work decrements the
count too early before releasing the kernel socket,
unblocking cleanup_net() and resulting in use-after-free.
Let's move the decrement after releasing the socket in
cleanup_bearer().
