CVE-2025-38150

Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—

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

af_packet: move notifier's packet_dev_mc out of rcu critical section

Syzkaller reports the following issue:

Calling `PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP` on an ops-locked device can trigger the `NETDEV_UNREGISTER` notifier, which may require disabling promiscuous and/or allmulti mode. Both of these operations require acquiring the netdev instance lock.

Move the call to `packet_dev_mc` outside of the RCU critical section. The `mclist` modifications (add, del, flush, unregister) are protected by the RTNL, not the RCU. The RCU only protects the `sklist` and its associated `sks`. The delayed operation on the `mclist` entry remains within the RTNL.
