"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnexthop: avoid unlocked f6i_list walk in nh_rt_cache_flush\n\nnh_rt_cache_flush() walks nh->f6i_list during an RTNL-serialized nexthop\nreplace without holding nh->lock, racing the unlocked IPv6 route\nadd/delete that mutate the list under nh->lock and free fib6_info\nentries (nh_rt_cache_flush() is inlined into rtm_new_nexthop()):\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in nh_rt_cache_flush (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:2243)\n Read of size 8 at addr ffff888012953e18 by task exploit/146\n nh_rt_cache_flush (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:2243)\n replace_nexthop (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:2610)\n rtm_new_nexthop (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:3323)\n rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:7076)\n\nUnlike the other f6i_list walks, this one bumps each route's sernum via\nfib6_update_sernum_upto_root(), which needs tb6_lock; taking nh->lock\naround it would invert the established tb6_lock -> nh->lock order and\ndeadlock. As the only purpose is to invalidate cached dsts, bump the\nIPv6 sernum for the whole netns with rt_genid_bump_ipv6() instead,\nmirroring the rt_cache_flush() already done for IPv4 just above."
