    net: tun: Fix use-after-free in tun_detach()

    syzbot reported use-after-free in tun_detach() [1].  This causes call

    The cause of the issue is that sock_put() from __tun_detach() drops
    last reference count for struct net, and then notifier_call_chain()
    from netdev_state_change() accesses that struct net.

    This patch fixes the issue by calling sock_put() from tun_detach()
    after all necessary accesses for the struct net has done.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
