Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/xen-netback: prevent UAF in xenvif_flush_hash()
During the list_for_each_entry_rcu iteration call of xenvif_flush_hash,
kfree_rcu does not exist inside the rcu read critical section, so if
kfree_rcu is called when the rcu grace period ends during the iteration,
UAF occurs when accessing head->next after the entry becomes free.
Therefore, to solve this, you need to change it to list_for_each_entry_safe.
