This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: sched: fix use-after-free in taprio_change() to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-sched-fix-use-after-free-in-taprio_change.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7b34a867d65069090fb688001d5034d8a50b5b6d Author: Dmitry Antipov <dmantipov@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 18 08:13:38 2024 +0300 net: sched: fix use-after-free in taprio_change() [ Upstream commit f504465970aebb2467da548f7c1efbbf36d0f44b ] In 'taprio_change()', 'admin' pointer may become dangling due to sched switch / removal caused by 'advance_sched()', and critical section protected by 'q->current_entry_lock' is too small to prevent from such a scenario (which causes use-after-free detected by KASAN). Fix this by prefer 'rcu_replace_pointer()' over 'rcu_assign_pointer()' to update 'admin' immediately before an attempt to schedule freeing.
