"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: bridge: mdb: restart port group walk after deletion\n\nbr_mdb_flush_pgs() keeps a pointer-to-pointer cursor while walking\nmp->ports. br_multicast_del_pg() can re-enter the same MDB entry through\nbr_multicast_sg_del_exclude_ports() and unlink other port groups. If the\ncursor points into one of those groups, the next iteration dereferences a\nstale cursor and can leave mp->ports pointing at freed memory.\n\nA following RTM_GETMDB exposes the dangling pointer:\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in br_mdb_dump\n Read of size 8\n br_mdb_dump\n rtnl_mdb_dump\n rtnl_dumpit\n netlink_dump\n\nReset the cursor to mp->ports after every deletion. The deletion removes at\nleast the selected group, so the restarted walk always makes progress."

"value": "AV:L - A local sendmsg() on NETLINK_ROUTE carrying RTM_DELMDB with NLM_F_BULK reaches the patched br_mdb_flush_pgs() through rtnl_mdb_del() and ndo_mdb_del_bulk; received bridge packets do not enter this bulk-delete path.\nAC:L - The attacker can add a *,G EXCLUDE membership and permanent static S,G groups so br_multicast_sg_add_exclude_ports() creates skipped kernel-protocol STAR_EXCL nodes; a proto-static bulk flush then deterministically invalidates pp without a race.\nPR:L - rtnetlink_rcv_msg() requires CAP_NET_ADMIN through netlink_net_capable(), but an unprivileged user can obtain that capability in a user-created network namespace and create the bridge, ports, and MDB state there.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the RTM_NEWMDB setup, NLM_F_BULK RTM_DELMDB trigger, and optional RTM_GETMDB traversal through their own netlink socket; no victim action is required.\nS:U - The dangling mp->ports pointer corrupts and exposes bridge objects within the host kernel's existing security authority; it does not cross a guest-host, hypervisor, or IOMMU boundary.\nC:H - The persistent slab UAF lets reclaimed contents control p->next and p->key.port; br_mdb_fill_info() follows these links and returns port, timer, flag, and source-list data through RTM_GETMDB, enabling kernel-memory disclosure.\nI:H - Reusing the dangling node in br_multicast_del_pg() reaches hlist_del_init_rcu() through reclaimed pg->mglist.pprev and updates rhashtable and GC links, providing attacker-influenced kernel writes and potential control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - After br_multicast_destroy_port_group() calls kfree_rcu(), br_mdb_dump() produces the confirmed slab-use-after-free; stale p->key.port or p->next dereferences in dump or br_multicast_flood can oops or panic the kernel."
