In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: Fix a refcount bug in qrtr_recvmsg()
Syzbot reported a bug as following:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
...
RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x17c/0x1f0 lib/refcount.c:25
...
Call Trace:
<TASK>
__refcount_add include/linux/refcount.h:199 [inline]

worker_thread+0x669/0x1090 kernel/workqueue.c:2537
It occurs in the concurrent scenario of qrtr_recvmsg() and
qrtr_endpoint_unregister() as following:
cpu0 cpu1
qrtr_recvmsg qrtr_endpoint_unregister
qrtr_send_resume_tx qrtr_node_release
qrtr_node_lookup mutex_lock(&qrtr_node_lock)
spin_lock_irqsave(&qrtr_nodes_lock, ) refcount_dec_and_test(&node->ref) [node->ref == 0]
radix_tree_lookup [node != NULL] __qrtr_node_release
qrtr_node_acquire spin_lock_irqsave(&qrtr_nodes_lock, )
kref_get(&node->ref) [WARNING] ...
mutex_unlock(&qrtr_node_lock)
Use qrtr_node_lock to protect qrtr_node_lookup() implementation, this
is actually improving the protection of node reference.
