[SRU Focal/Jammy/OEM-5.17/Kinetic/OEM-6.0/Lunar 0/1] CVE-2023-3776

[Cengiz Can]

[Impact]
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s net/sched: cls_fw
component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. If
tcf_change_indev() fails, fw_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. We
recommend upgrading past commit 0323bce598eea038714f941ce2b22541c46d488f.

[Fix]
Cherry picked from upstream. 

[Test case]
Compile and boot tested only.

[Potential regression]
All users that utilize traffic shaping might be affected. Although highly
unlikely.
