In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ethernet:enic: Fix a use after free bug in enic_hard_start_xmit In
enic_hard_start_xmit, it calls enic_queue_wq_skb(). Inside
enic_queue_wq_skb, if some error happens, the skb will be freed by
dev_kfree_skb(skb). But the freed skb is still used in
skb_tx_timestamp(skb). My patch makes enic_queue_wq_skb() return error and
goto spin_unlock() incase of error. The solution is provided by Govind. See
https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/4/30/961.
