CVE-2021-47013 is a use-after-free flaw in the Linux kernel EMAC network driver’s emac_mac_tx_buf_send transmit path. The function invokes emac_tx_fill_tpd() with an skb. When emac_tx_fill_tpd() encounters an error, it frees the skb, but the caller subsequently dereferences skb->len while reporting transmit-queue activity. The fix saves the packet length before the call that can free the skb and uses the saved value thereafter.
