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

gtp: Fix use-after-free in __gtp_encap_destroy().

syzkaller reported use-after-free in __gtp_encap_destroy(). [0]

It shows the same process freed sk and touched it illegally.

Commit e198987e7dd7 ("gtp: fix suspicious RCU usage") added lock_sock() and release_sock() in __gtp_encap_destroy() to protect sk->sk_user_data, but release_sock() is called after sock_put() releases the last refcnt.
