In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: fbnic: don't cache shinfo across skb realloc
fbnic_tx_lso() calls skb_cow_head() which may reallocate the skb including the shared info. We can't use the pointer calculated before the call.
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in fbnic_tx_lso.isra.0+0x668/0x8e0 Read of size 4 at addr ff110000262edd98 by task swapper/5/0 Call Trace: fbnic_tx_lso.isra.0+0x668/0x8e0 fbnic_xmit_frame+0x622/0xba0 dev_hard_start_xmit+0xf4/0x620
