commit 7ec02f5ac8a5be5a3f20611731243dc5e1d9ba10 upstream.
The ax25_disconnect() in ax25_kill_by_device() is not
protected by any locks, thus there is a race condition
between ax25_disconnect() and ax25_destroy_socket().
when ax25->sk is assigned as NULL by ax25_destroy_socket(),
a NULL pointer dereference bug will occur if site (1) or (2)
dereferences ax25->sk.
ax25_kill_by_device() | ax25_release()
ax25_disconnect() | ax25_destroy_socket()
... |
if(ax25->sk != NULL) | ...
... | ax25->sk = NULL;
bh_lock_sock(ax25->sk); //(1) | ...
... |
bh_unlock_sock(ax25->sk); //(2)|
This patch moves ax25_disconnect() into lock_sock(), which can
synchronize with ax25_destroy_socket() in ax25_release().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
