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().

CWE-416 Use After Free
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
