CVE-2026-74562

Estado: RecibidaAlta (8.8)—

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:

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.
