In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: fix use-after-free of the flow table mask array
tbl_mask_array_realloc() retires the old mask_array before it stops being
reachable:
old = ovsl_dereference(tbl->mask_array);
if (old) {
...
call_rcu(&old->rcu, mask_array_rcu_cb);
}
rcu_assign_pointer(tbl->mask_array, new);
call_rcu() only waits for read-side critical sections already in flight.
tbl->mask_array still points at old between the call_rcu() and the
rcu_assign_pointer(), so a reader entering ovs_flow_tbl_lookup_stats() in
that window picks up old in a fresh critical section that the pending
grace period does not cover.
tbl_mask_array_realloc() runs in process context under ovs_mutex, so the
window is preemptible and can outlast the grace period. Then
mask_array_rcu_cb() frees old before the swap runs:

Publish the new array before retiring the old one. The kfree_rcu() that
call_rcu() replaced ran after the swap.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Open vSwitch subsystem. A race condition during the reallocation of internal flow table structures allows memory to be freed while it is still being accessed by packet processing routines, causing a use-after-free condition. An attacker can exploit this flaw during flow table updates to cause a system crash resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) or potentially escalate privileges.
