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.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Cisco VIC Ethernet NIC Support driver. This issue occurs due to the way some errors happen inside enic_queue_wq_skb and could allow a local user to crash the system.
