Summary
net: udp_tunnel: prevent double queueing in udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: udptunnel: prevent double queueing in udptunnelnicdevice_sync

Yue Sun reported a use-after-free and debugobjects warning in udptunnelnicdevicesync_work() during concurrent device operations.

The workqueue core clears the internal pending bit before invoking the worker. At that point, a concurrent thread can queue the work again. When the already running worker eventually clears the workpending flag to 0, it mistakenly clears the flag for the newly queued instance. udptunnelnicunregister() then observes work_pending as 0 and frees the structure while the second work item is still active in the queue, leading to UAF.

Fix this by returning early in udptunnelnicdevicesync() if work_pending is already set, preventing redundant work queueing.
