Summary

In the Linux kernel's AppArmor module, the function aa_replace_profiles accessed udata->size after calling aa_put_loaddata(udata), potentially causing a use-after-free (UAF). The fix saves the size to a local variable before dropping the reference.

Risk Assessment

Use-after-free can lead to unpredictable behavior, including privilege escalation or system crash.
