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

net: tun: Fix use-after-free in tun_detach()

syzbot reported use-after-free in tun_detach() [1]. This causes call
trace like below:

The cause of the issue is that sock_put() from __tun_detach() drops
last reference count for struct net, and then notifier_call_chain()
from netdev_state_change() accesses that struct net.

This patch fixes the issue by calling sock_put() from tun_detach()
after all necessary accesses for the struct net has done.
