In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: j1939: fix errant WARNONONCE in j1939sessiondeactivate
The conclusion "j1939sessiondeactivate() should be called with a session ref-count of at least 2" is incorrect. In some concurrent scenarios, j1939sessiondeactivate can be called with the session ref-count less than 2. But there is not any problem because it will check the session active state before session putting in j1939sessiondeactivate_locked().
Here is the concurrent scenario of the problem reported by syzbot and my reproduction log.
