GHSA-m2h6-g9h7-jxfj: 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:net: avoid potential UAF in default_operstate()syzbot reported an UAF in default_operstate() [1]Issue is a race between device and netns dismantles.After calling __rtnl_unlock() from netdev_run_todo(),
we can not assume the netns of each device is still alive.Make sure the device is not in NETREG_UNREGISTERED state,
and add an ASSERT_RTNL() before the call to
__dev_get_by_index().We might move this ASSERT_RTNL() in __dev_get_by_index()
in the future.[1]BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __dev_get_by_index+0x5d/0x110 net/core/dev.c:852
