CVE-2024-49936 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/xen-netback: prevent UAF in xenvif_flush_hash()

During the list_for_each_entry_rcu iteration call of xenvif_flush_hash kfree_rcu does not exist inside the rcu read critical section so if kfree_rcu is called when the rcu grace period ends during the iteration UAF occurs when accessing head->next after the entry becomes free.

Therefore to solve this you need to change it to list_for_each_entry_safe.
