CVE-2024-26961 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac802154: fix llsec key resources release in mac802154_llsec_key_del
mac802154_llsec_key_del() can free resources of a key directly without
following the RCU rules for waiting before the end of a grace period. This
may lead to use-after-free in case llsec_lookup_key() is traversing the
list of keys in parallel with a key deletion:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

Handle the proper resource release in the RCU callback function
mac802154_llsec_key_del_rcu().
Note that if llsec_lookup_key() finds a key, it gets a refcount via
llsec_key_get() and locally copies key id from key_entry (which is a
list element). So it\'s safe to call llsec_key_put() and free the list
entry after the RCU grace period elapses.
