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

gtp: fix use-after-free and null-ptr-deref in gtp_newlink()

The gtp_link_ops operations structure for the subsystem must be
registered after registering the gtp_net_ops pernet operations structure.

Syzkaller hit ‘general protection fault in gtp_genl_dump_pdp’ bug:
