If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0cb794ff289213197c98fdb2edf916be9d8f92f2 Author: Lv Yunlong <lyl2019@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Mar 30 18:59:59 2021 -0700 net/rds: Fix a use after free in rds_message_map_pages [ Upstream commit bdc2ab5c61a5c07388f4820ff21e787b4dfd1ced ] In rds_message_map_pages, the rm is freed by rds_message_put(rm). But rm is still used by rm->data.op_sg in return value. My patch assigns ERR_CAST(rm->data.op_sg) to err before the rm is freed to avoid the uaf.
