CVE-2026-74656
Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.8)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: fix use-after-free in fib_nhc_update_mtu()
fib_nhc_update_mtu() walks the nexthop exception table under RTNL, but RTNL does not serialize this walk with PMTU exception updates. The walk uses rcu_dereference_protected() with a constant true condition without holding fnhe_lock.
The following interleaving can therefore occur:
The same walk updates fnhe_pmtu and fnhe_mtu_locked. These fields form a pair and other writers serialize them with fnhe_lock. RCU alone prevents reclamation, but would still allow concurrent writers to leave a mixed pair.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
Walk the table under RCU and acquire fnhe_lock only while updating each exception. RCU keeps the current entry alive while the short critical section serializes its paired PMTU fields. This avoids holding the global lock while scanning all 2048 buckets for every nexthop.
