CVE-2026-72463

EUVD-2026-59362
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfrm: Fix dev use-after-free in xfrm async resumption

xfrm async resumption hold skb->dev refcnt until after transport_finish.
However, xfrm_rcv_cb may modify skb->dev to tunnel dev without taking
device reference, such as vti_rcv_cb. The subsequent async resumption
will decrement the tunnel device's reference count, which lead to uaf
of tunnel dev and refcnt leak of orig dev as below:

unregister_netdevice: waiting for vti1 to become free. Usage count = -2

Stash the original skb->dev to fix refcnt imbalance. The new skb->dev set
by xfrm_rcv_cb can race with device teardown. Extend rcu protection over
xfrm_rcv_cb and transport_finish to prevent races.
