In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xdp, net: Fix use-after-free in bpf_xdp_link_release

The problem occurs between dev_get_by_index() and dev_xdp_attach_link().
At this point, dev_xdp_uninstall() is called. Then xdp link will not be
detached automatically when dev is released. But link->dev already
points to dev, when xdp link is released, dev will still be accessed,
but dev has been released.

dev_get_by_index() |
link->dev = dev |
| rtnl_lock()
| unregister_netdevice_many()
| dev_xdp_uninstall()
| rtnl_unlock()
rtnl_lock(); |
dev_xdp_attach_link() |
rtnl_unlock(); |
| netdev_run_todo() // dev released
bpf_xdp_link_release() |
/* access dev. |
use-after-free */ |
