Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
macsec: Fix use-after-free while sending the offloading packet
KASAN reports the following UAF. The metadata_dst, which is used to store the SCI value for macsec offload, is already freed by metadata_dst_free() in macsec_free_netdev(), while driver still use it for sending the packet.
To fix this issue, dst_release() is used instead to release metadata_dst. So it is not freed instantly in macsec_free_netdev() if still referenced by skb.
