In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: shaper: protect from late creation of hierarchy
We look up a netdev during prep of Netlink ops (pre- callbacks)
and take a ref to it. Then later in the body of the callback
we take its lock or RCU which are the actual protections.
The netdev may get unregistered in between the time we take
the ref and the time we lock it. We may allocate the hierarchy
after flush has already run, which would lead to a leak.
Take the instance lock in pre- already, this saves us from the race
and removes the need for dedicated lock/unlock callbacks completely.
After all, if there's any chance of write happening concurrently
with the flush - we're back to leaking the hierarchy.
We may take the lock for devices which don't support shapers but
we're only dealing with SET operations here, not taking the lock
would be optimizing for an error case.

Title: Linux, Description: En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta:
net: shaper: proteger de la creación tardía de la jerarquía
Buscamos un netdev durante la preparación de las operaciones de Netlink (callbacks previos) y tomamos una referencia a él. Luego, más tarde, en el cuerpo del callback, tomamos su bloqueo o RCU, que son las protecciones reales.
El netdev puede ser dado de baja entre el momento en que tomamos la referencia y el momento en que lo bloqueamos. Podemos asignar la jerarquía después de que el vaciado ya se haya ejecutado, lo que llevaría a una fuga.
Tomar el bloqueo de instancia ya en pre-, esto nos salva de la condición de carrera y elimina por completo la necesidad de callbacks dedicados de bloqueo/desbloqueo. Después de todo, si hay alguna posibilidad de que una escritura ocurra concurrentemente con el vaciado, volvemos a la fuga de la jerarquía.
Podemos tomar el bloqueo para dispositivos que no soportan shapers, pero aquí solo estamos tratando con operaciones SET; no tomar el bloqueo sería optimizar para un caso de error.
