Descriptions

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

net: bridge: mst: fix vlan use-after-free

syzbot reported a suspicious rcu usage[1] in bridge's mst code. While
fixing it I noticed that nothing prevents a vlan to be freed while
walking the list from the same path (br forward delay timer). Fix the rcu
usage and also make sure we are not accessing freed memory by making
br_mst_vlan_set_state use rcu read lock.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: bridge: mst: fix vlan use-after-free syzbot informó un uso sospechoso de rcu[1] en el código mst del puente. Mientras lo solucionaba, noté que nada impide que se libere una VLAN mientras se recorre la lista desde el mismo camino (br temporizador de retardo de avance). Corrija el uso de rcu y también asegúrese de que no accedamos a la memoria liberada haciendo que br_mst_vlan_set_state use el bloqueo de lectura de rcu.
