ax25: fix UAF bugs of net_device caused by rebinding operation
The ax25_kill_by_device() will set s->ax25_dev = NULL and call ax25_disconnect() to change states of ax25_cb and sock, if we call ax25_bind() before ax25_kill_by_device(). However, if we call ax25_bind() again between the window of ax25_kill_by_device() and ax25_dev_device_down(), the values and states changed by ax25_kill_by_device() will be reassigned. Finally, ax25_dev_device_down() will deallocate net_device. If we dereference net_device in syscall functions such as ax25_release(), ax25_sendmsg(), ax25_getsockopt(), ax25_getname() and ax25_info_show(), a UAF bug will occur. One of the possible race conditions is shown below: (USE) | (FREE) ax25_bind() | | ax25_kill_by_device() ax25_bind() | ax25_connect() | ... | ax25_dev_device_down() | ... ...
