From 7b16eb911091aae237a8673da94e4dfb9cd21d54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?J=C3=A9r=C3=A9my=20Jean?= Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 18:13:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net/sched: fix use-after-free in __tcf_action_put() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit __tcf_action_put() decrements the reference count before decrementing the binding count. Another thread can free the action between these operations, causing the binding-count update to access freed memory. KASAN reports it as: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __tcf_action_put+0x327/0x340 Write of size 4 at addr ff11000000d46420 by task tc-put-pause/64 Hold the action IDR mutex across both counter updates and IDR removal, keeping cleanup outside the lock.
