Subject: CVE-2025-40280: tipc: Fix use-after-free in tipc_mon_reinit_self().

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tipc: Fix use-after-free in tipc_mon_reinit_self().

syzbot reported use-after-free of tipc_net(net)->monitors[]
in tipc_mon_reinit_self(). [0]

The array is protected by RTNL, but tipc_mon_reinit_self()
iterates over it without RTNL.

tipc_mon_reinit_self() is called from tipc_net_finalize(),
which is always under RTNL except for tipc_net_finalize_work().

Let's hold RTNL in tipc_net_finalize_work().

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:
