Descriptions

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

fscache: delete fscache_cookie_lru_timer when fscache exits to avoid UAF

The fscache_cookie_lru_timer is initialized when the fscache module
is inserted, but is not deleted when the fscache module is removed.
If timer_reduce() is called before removing the fscache module,
the fscache_cookie_lru_timer will be added to the timer list of
the current cpu. Afterwards, a use-after-free will be triggered
in the softIRQ after removing the fscache module, as follows:
