CVE-2025-21758 MEDIUM

Published: 2025-02-27 | Last Modified: 2026-07-14 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: mcast: add RCU protection to mld_newpack() mld_newpack() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held. Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep. Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk socket under RCU protection.

Additional Descriptions (1)

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ipv6: mcast: agregar protección RCU a mld_newpack() mld_newpack() se puede llamar sin que se mantenga RTNL o RCU. Tenga en cuenta que ya no podemos usar sock_alloc_send_skb() porque ipv6.igmp_sk usa asignaciones GFP_KERNEL que pueden dormir. En su lugar, use alloc_skb() y cargue el socket net->ipv6.igmp_sk bajo la protección RCU.
