In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tun: Fix use-after-free in tun_detach()
syzbot reported use-after-free in tun_detach() [1]. This causes call trace like below:

The cause of the issue is that sockput() from _tundetach() drops last reference count for struct net, and then notifiercallchain() from netdevstate_change() accesses that struct net.
This patch fixes the issue by calling sockput() from tundetach() after all necessary accesses for the struct net has done.
