Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: udp_tunnel: fix memory leak in
udp_tunnel_nic_unregister() syzbot reported a memory leak [1] in the UDP tunnel NIC offload code. When
device registration fails (e.g. in register_netdevice()), netdev core unwinds by sending a single
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification. If work was queued during NETDEV_REGISTER (utn->work_pending is set),
udp_tunnel_nic_unregister() returns early: if (utn->work_pending) return; Because failed registrations do
not enter netdev_wait_allrefs_any(), no subsequent NETDEV_UNREGISTER rebroadcast will ever occur. As a
result, the struct udp_tunnel_nic allocated in udp_tunnel_nic_alloc() is leaked permanently. Fix this by
removing the early return. Instead, synchronously cancel any pending work with cancel_delayed_work_sync()
before freeing @utn. To be able to call cancel_delayed_work_sync() while holding RTNL (the work also needs
RTNL), switch udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync_work() to rtnl_trylock(). If RTNL is contended, requeue the work
with a 1 jiffy delay (via queue_delayed_work()) to prevent high CPU contention while waiting for RTNL
lock. The utn->work_pending bookkeeping is no longer needed and is removed, as the workqueue core already
tracks the pending/running state of the work. [1] BUG: memory leak unreferenced object 0xffff888127d5f840
