In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phonet: pep: fix use-after-free in pep_get_sb()
pep_get_sb() doesn't consider that pskb_may_pull() might have relocated
the skb data, and continue to access the older pointer, causing UAF.
Reproduced under KASAN:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in pep_get_sb+0x234/0x3b0
Read of size 1 at addr ff11000105510f50 by task repro/157
pep_get_sb+0x234/0x3b0
pipe_handler_do_rcv+0x5f7/0xa10
pep_do_rcv+0x203/0x410
__sk_receive_skb+0x471/0x4a0
phonet_rcv+0x5b3/0x6c0
__netif_receive_skb+0xcc/0x1d0
Refetch the header with skb_header_pointer() after pskb_may_pull(), so
the possibly stale pointer is no longer dereferenced. There are better
ways to solve this, but, this is the less instrusive one.
