In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netrom:
Decrease sock refcount when sock timers expire Commit 63346650c1a9
(“netrom: switch to sock timer API”) switched to use sock timer API. It
replaces mod_timer() by sk_reset_timer(), and del_timer() by
sk_stop_timer(). Function sk_reset_timer() will increase the refcount of
sock if it is called on an inactive timer, hence, in case the timer
expires, we need to decrease the refcount ourselves in the handler,
otherwise, the sock refcount will be unbalanced and the sock will never be
freed.
