This v2 patch corrects the patch for Focal and Jammy as Lunar's patch
cannot be applied cleanly on these kernels. No change made to Lunar's
patch.
[Impact]
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_u32
component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If
tcf_change_indev() fails, u32_set_parms() will immediately return an
error after incrementing or decrementing the reference counter in
tcf_bind_filter(). If an attacker can control the reference counter and
set it to zero, they can cause the reference to be freed, leading to a
use-after-free vulnerability.
[Backport]
Clean cherry pick.
[Test]
Smoke tested via adding an u32 filter to a dummy device using `tc`.
[Potential Regression]
Expect very low regression.
