From 6a65c0cb0ff20b3cbc5f1c87b37dd22cdde14a1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Hodges Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 09:56:21 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: fix RCU dereference race in tipc_aead_users_dec() tipc_aead_users_dec() calls rcu_dereference(aead) twice: once to store in 'tmp' for the NULL check, and again inside the atomic_add_unless() call. Use the already-dereferenced 'tmp' pointer consistently, matching the correct pattern used in tipc_aead_users_inc() and tipc_aead_users_set().
