Title
netfilter: nf_queue: fix possible use-after-free
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_queue: fix possible use-after-free Eric Dumazet says: The sock_hold() side seems suspect, because there is no guarantee that sk_refcnt is not already 0. On failure, we cannot queue the packet and need to indicate an error. The packet will be dropped by the caller. v2: split skb prefetch hunk into separate change

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
