CVE-2023-52446: Use After Free

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix a race condition between btf_put() and map_free()

When running `./test_progs -j` in my local vm with latest kernel, I once hit a kasan error like below:

The error happens at bpf_rb_root_free+0x1f8/0x2b0:
