In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: re-fetch skb cb after tipcmsgvalidate
As the call trace shows, the original skb was freed in tipcmsgvalidate(), and dereferencing the old skb cb would cause an use-after-free crash.

This patch fixes it by re-fetching the skb cb from the new allocated skb after calling tipcmsgvalidate().
