Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: bridge: use DEV_STATS_INC() syzbot/KCSAN reported data-races in br_handle_frame_finish() [1] This function can run from multiple cpus without mutual exclusion. Adopt SMP safe DEV_STATS_INC() to update dev->stats fields. Handles updates to dev->stats.tx_dropped while we are at it.
