[PATCH 6.1 253/321] ipv6: prevent possible UAF in ip6_xmit()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2d5ff7e339d04622d8282661df36151906d0e1c7 ]

If skb_expand_head() returns NULL, skb has been freed
and the associated dst/idev could also have been freed.

We must use rcu_read_lock() to prevent a possible UAF.
