From e577516b9db3e0f19df82b6430fe3b06e05d6304 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Schimmel Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2015 16:41:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mlxsw: Fix use-after-free bug in mlxsw_sx_port_xmit Store the length of the skb before transmitting it and use it for stats instead of skb->len, since skb might have been freed already. This issue was discovered using the Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan). Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
