commit b7c81f80246fac44077166f3e07103affe6db8ff upstream. &e->event and e point to the same address, and &e->event could be freed in queue_event. So there is a potential uaf issue if we dereference e after calling queue_event(). Fix this by adding a temporary variable to maintain e->client in advance, this can avoid the potential uaf issue.

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.
