In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: clear the svc scheduler ptr early on edit
ipvseditservice() while unbinding the old scheduler clears the svc->scheduler ptr after the scheduler module initiates RCU callbacks. This can cause packets to use the old scheduler at the time when svc->scheddata is already freed after RCU grace period.
Fix it by clearing the ptr early in ipvsunbindscheduler(), before the doneservice method schedules any RCU callbacks.
Also, if the new scheduler fails to initialize when replacing the old scheduler, try to restore the old scheduler while still returning the error code.
