[Impact]
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s networking code. A use-after-free was
found in the way the sch_sfb enqueue function used the socket buffer (SKB) cb
field after the same SKB had been enqueued (and freed) into a child qdisc.
This flaw allows a local, unprivileged user to crash the system, causing a
denial of service.

[Fix]
Cherry picked from upstream. 

[Test case]
Boot and basic network functionality tested with ntopng and wget.

[Potential regression]
Low. Fix has been in other kernels for quite a while now.
