CVE-2024-56751
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: release nexthop on device removal
The CI is hitting some aperiodic hangup at device removal time in the pmtu.sh self-test:
While the first suspect is the dst_cache, explicitly tracking the dst owing the last device reference via probes proved such dst is held by the nexthop in the originating fib6_info.
Similar to commit f5b51fe804ec ("ipv6: route: purge exception on removal"), we need to explicitly release the originating fib info when disconnecting a to-be-removed device from a live ipv6 dst: move the fib6_info cleanup into ip6_dst_ifdown().

Tested running:
./pmtu.sh cleanup_ipv6_exception
in a tight loop for more than 400 iterations with no spat, running an unpatched kernel I observed a splat every ~10 iterations.
