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

genirq/irqdesc: Prevent use-after-free in irq_find_at_or_after()

irq_find_at_or_after() dereferences the interrupt descriptor which is
returned by mt_find() while neither holding sparse_irq_lock nor RCU read
lock, which means the descriptor can be freed between mt_find() and the
dereference:

    CPU0                            CPU1
    desc = mt_find()
                                    delayed_free_desc(desc)
    irq_desc_get_irq(desc)

The use-after-free is reported by KASAN:

    Call trace:
     irq_get_next_irq+0x58/0x84
     show_stat+0x638/0x824
     seq_read_iter+0x158/0x4ec
     proc_reg_read_iter+0x94/0x12c
     vfs_read+0x1e0/0x2c8

    Freed by task 4471:

     __kmem_cache_free+0xa4/0x1dc
     kfree+0x64/0x128

     kobject_put+0xcc/0x1e0
     delayed_free_desc+0x14/0x2c
     rcu_do_batch+0x214/0x720

Guard the access with a RCU read lock section.
