CVE-2026-74562NVD

Vulnerability Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nexthop: take nh->lock for f6i_list walks in replace check and notify

fib6_check_nh_list() and __nexthop_replace_notify() walk nh->f6i_list
during an RTNL-serialized nexthop replace without holding nh->lock. IPv6
RTM_NEWROUTE/RTM_DELROUTE run without RTNL and mutate that list under
nh->lock (fib6_add_rt2node_nh(), fib6_purge_rt()), so both walks race a
concurrent route delete that unlinks and frees a fib6_info:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in rt6_fill_node.isra.0 (net/ipv6/route.c:5799)
Read of size 4 at addr ffff888014607e64 by task exploit/143
rt6_fill_node.isra.0 (net/ipv6/route.c:5799)
fib6_rt_update (net/ipv6/route.c:6412)
__nexthop_replace_notify (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:2542)
rtm_new_nexthop (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:2554)
rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:7076)

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in fib6_check_nh_list (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:1605)
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888014a7d068 by task exploit/142
fib6_check_nh_list (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:1605)
rtm_new_nexthop (net/ipv4/nexthop.c:2575)
rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:7076)

Both walks only read the entries and take no tb6_lock, so protect them
with nh->lock; fib6_rt_update() uses gfp_any(), which returns GFP_ATOMIC
under the lock.
