In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: fix a race in rxrpc_exit_net() Current code can lead to the following race: CPU0 CPU1 rxrpc_exit_net() rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker() if (rxnet->live) rxnet->live = false; del_timer_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer); timer_reduce(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer, jiffies + delay); cancel_work_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_work); rxrpc_exit_net() exits while peer_keepalive_timer is still armed, leading to use-after-free. syzbot report was: ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer
