{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2021-46998","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ethernet:enic: Fix a use after free bug in enic_hard_start_xmit  In enic_hard_start_xmit, it calls enic_queue_wq_skb(). Inside enic_queue_wq_skb, if some error happens, the skb will be freed by dev_kfree_skb(skb). But the freed skb is still used in skb_tx_timestamp(skb).  My patch makes enic_queue_wq_skb() return error and goto spin_unlock() incase of error. The solution is provided by Govind.
