In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/siw: Remove direct link to net_device Do not manage a per device direct link to net_device. Rely on associated ib_devices net_device management, not doubling the effort locally. A badly managed local link to net_device was causing a 'KASAN: slab-use-after-free' exception during siw_query_port() call.
