There are multiple reports showing we have a use-after-free in the timer prb_retire_rx_blk_timer_expired(), where we use struct tpacket_kbdq_core::pkbdq, a pg_vec, after it gets freed by free_pg_vec(). The interesting part is it is not freed via packet_release() but via packet_setsockopt(), which means we are not closing the socket. Looking into the big and fat function packet_set_ring(), this could happen if we satisfy the following conditions: 1. closing == 0, not on packet_release() path 2. req->tp_block_nr == 0, we don't allocate a new pg_vec 3. rx_ring->pg_vec is already set as V3, which means we already called packet_set_ring() wtih req->tp_block_nr > 0 previously 4. req->tp_frame_nr == 0, pass sanity check 5. po->mapped == 0, never called mmap() In this scenario we are clearing the old rx_ring->pg_vec, so we need to free this pg_vec, but we don't stop the timer on this path because of closing==0. The timer has to be stopped as long as we need to free pg_vec, therefore the check on closing!=0 is wrong, we should check pg_vec!=NULL instead. Thanks to liujian for testing different fixes.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
