** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Groovy)
Status: In Progress => Invalid
** Description changed:
- When net_prio and net_cls cgroups are used, cgroup refcount is bogus, as
- it's not incremented anymore, but decremented when sockets are closed.
+ [Impact]
+ When net_prio and net_cls cgroups are used, cgroup refcount is bogus, as it's
not incremented anymore, but decremented when sockets are closed.
This might lead to crashes possibly because of use-after-free when
packets are received as shown in LP #1886668.
- Cascardo.
+ [Test case]
+ Ran reproducer from comment #2.
+
+ [Regression potential]
+ We could break the use of cgroup bpf. The use of cgroup bpf looks to still be
working from the reproducer.
