Subject: [Patch net] act_ife: fix a potential use-after-free
Date: Mon,  3 Sep 2018 11:08:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180903180815.32220-1-xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> (raw)

Immediately after module_put(), user could delete this
module, so e->ops could be already freed before we call
e->ops->release().

Fix this by moving module_put() after ops->release().

Fixes: ef6980b6becb ("introduce IFE action")
