Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: bridge: mcast: wait for previous gc cycles when removing port

syzbot hit a use-after-free[1] which is caused because the bridge doesn’t
make sure that all previous garbage has been collected when removing a
port. What happens is:

  CPU 1                   CPU 2

start gc cycle remove port

                     acquire gc lock first

wait for lock

                     call br_multicasg_gc() directly

acquire lock now but free port
the port can be freed
while grp timers still
running

Make sure all previous gc cycles have finished by using flush_work before
freeing the port.
