## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  fuse-uring: Avoid use-after-free in fuse_uring_async_stop_queues  fuse_uring_async_stop_queues() might run when the last reference on ring->queue_refs was already dropped.  In order to avoid an early destruction a reference on struct fuse_conn is now taken before starting fuse_uring_async_stop_queues() and that reference is only released when that delayed work queue terminates.
