In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: decrease cached dst counters in dstrelease Upstream fix ac888d58869b ("net: do not delay dstentriesadd() in dstrelease()") moved decrementing the dst count from dstdestroy to dstrelease to avoid accessing already freed data in case of netns dismantle. However in case CONFIGDSTCACHE is enabled and OvS+tunnels are used, this fix is incomplete as the same issue will be seen for cached dsts: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff5aabf6b5c000 Call trace: percpucounteraddbatch+0x3c/0x160 (P) dstrelease+0xec/0x108 dstcachedestroy+0x68/0xd8 dstdestroy+0x13c/0x168 dstdestroyrcu+0x1c/0xb0 rcudobatch+0x18c/0x7d0 rcucore+0x174/0x378 rcucoresi+0x18/0x30 Fix this by invalidating the cache, and thus decrementing cached dst counters, in dst_release too.
