Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2022-49017 (Linux). CVSS 8.8 → 7.8 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: re-fetch skb cb after tipc_msg_validate
As the call trace shows, the original skb was freed in tipc_msg_validate(),
and dereferencing the old skb cb would cause an use-after-free crash.
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in tipc_crypto_rcv_complete+0x1835/0x2240 [tipc]

This patch fixes it by re-fetching the skb cb from the new allocated skb
after calling tipc_msg_validate().
