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

net: sched: use RCU read-side critical section in taprio_dump()

Fix possible use-after-free in 'taprio_dump()' by adding RCU read-side critical section there. Never seen on x86 but found on a KASAN-enabled arm64 system when investigating https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=b65e0af58423fc8a73aa:
