      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxfrm: prevent policy_hthresh.work from racing with netns teardown\n\nA XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO request can queue the per-net work item\npolicy_hthresh.work onto the system workqueue.\n\nThe queued callback, xfrm_hash_rebuild(), retrieves the enclosing\nstruct net via container_of(). If the net namespace is torn down\nbefore that work runs, the associated struct net may already have\nbeen freed, and xfrm_hash_rebuild() may then dereference stale memory.\n\nxfrm_policy_fini() already flushes policy_hash_work during teardown,\nbut it does not synchronize policy_hthresh.work.\n\nSynchronize policy_hthresh.work in xfrm_policy_fini() as well, so the\nqueued work cannot outlive the net namespace teardown and access a\nfreed struct net.",
