In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hsr: defer node table free until after RCU readers
HSR node-list and node-status generic-netlink operations run under rcureadlock(). They walk hsr->nodedb through hsrgetnextnode() and hsrgetnodedata(), but RTMDELLINK teardown removes the same node table with plain list_del() and frees each node immediately.
That lets a generic-netlink reader hold a struct hsrnode pointer across hsrdellink(). In a KASAN build, widening the reader window after hsrgetnextnode() obtains the node reproduces a slab-use-after-free when the reader copies node->macaddressA; the freeing stack is hsrdelnodes() from hsr_dellink().
Use listdelrcu() and defer the free through the existing hsrfreenodercu() callback. This matches the lifetime rule used by the HSR prune paths, which already delete nodes with listdelrcu() and callrcu().
