In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: xilinx_can: xcan_write_frame(): fix use-after-free of transmitted SKB
can_put_echo_skb() takes ownership of the SKB and it may be freed
during or after the call.
However, xilinx_can xcan_write_frame() keeps using SKB after the call.
Fix that by only calling can_put_echo_skb() after the code is done
touching the SKB.
The tx_lock is held for the entire xcan_write_frame() execution and
also on the can_get_echo_skb() side so the order of operations does not
matter.
An earlier fix commit 3d3c817c3a40 ("can: xilinx_can: Fix usage of skb
memory") did not move the can_put_echo_skb() call far enough.
