Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ip6mr: fix UAF issue in ip6mr_sk_done() when addrconf_init_net() failed

If the initialization fails in calling addrconf_init_net(), devconf_all is
the pointer that has been released. Then ip6mr_sk_done() is called to
release the net, accessing devconf->mc_forwarding directly causes invalid
pointer access.

The process is as follows:
setup_net()
ops_init()
addrconf_init_net()
all = kmemdup(...) ---> alloc "all"
...
net->ipv6.devconf_all = all;
__addrconf_sysctl_register() ---> failed
...
kfree(all); ---> ipv6.devconf_all invalid
...
ops_exit_list()
...
ip6mr_sk_done()
devconf = net->ipv6.devconf_all;
//devconf is invalid pointer
if (!devconf || !atomic_read(&devconf->mc_forwarding))

The following is the Call Trace information:
