The LWT-BPF transmit path or other encapsulation operations within lwtunnel_xmit() can reallocate the skb head, freeing the memory that daddr points to. When lwtunnel_xmit() returns LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE, the function continues to use the stale daddr pointer to compute the nexthop and to look up or create the neighbour entry. This results in a use-after-free read, which can leak sensitive kernel data, pollute the neighbour table with arbitrary values, misdirect traffic, or crash the system.</p> <p>Fix this by re-fetching the IPv6 header and the destination address pointer after lwtunnel_xmit() returns LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE, ensuring that the subsequent nexthop computation and neighbour lookup operate on valid memory.</p> <p><strong>Affected:</strong> Linux</p> <p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:</p> <p>ipv6: fix use-after-free in ip6_finish_output2()</p> <p>ip6_finish_output2() caches a pointer to the IPv6 destination address (daddr) before invoking lwtunnel_xmit().
