Subject: CVE-2021-46998: ethernet:enic: Fix a use after free bug in enic_hard_start_xmit
From: gregkh@...nel.org
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ethernet:enic: Fix a use after free bug in enic_hard_start_xmit
In enic_hard_start_xmit, it calls enic_queue_wq_skb(). Inside
enic_queue_wq_skb, if some error happens, the skb will be freed
by dev_kfree_skb(skb). But the freed skb is still used in
skb_tx_timestamp(skb).
My patch makes enic_queue_wq_skb() return error and goto spin_unlock()
incase of error. The solution is provided by Govind.
See https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/4/30/961.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-46998 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
