      <title>CVE-2025-22111 — net: Remove RTNL dance for SIOCBRADDIF and SIOCBRDELIF.</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-22111</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIPLUS S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net: Remove RTNL dance for SIOCBRADDIF and SIOCBRDELIF.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SIOCBRDELIF is passed to dev_ioctl() first and later forwarded to
br_ioctl_call(), which causes unnecessary RTNL dance and the splat
below [0] under RTNL pressure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s say Thread A is trying to detach a device from a bridge and
Thread B is trying to remove the bridge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In dev_ioctl(), Thread A bumps the bridge device&amp;#39;s refcnt by
netdev_hold() and releases RTNL because the following br_ioctl_call()
also re-acquires RTNL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the race window, Thread B could acquire RTNL and try to remove
the bridge device.  Then, rtnl_unlock() by Thread B will release RTNL
and wait for netdev_put() by Thread A.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thread A, however, must hold RTNL after the unlock in dev_ifsioc(),
which may take long under RTNL pressure, resulting in the splat by
Thread B.&lt;/p&gt;
