Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: mcast: Fix potential UAF in MLD delayed work A race condition exists between device teardown and incoming MLD query processing, leading to a Use-After-Free in the MLD delayed work. During device destruction, the primary reference to inet6_dev is dropped, which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of inet6_dev memory is deferred via RCU. Concurrently, the packet receive path runs under RCU read lock and obtains the inet6_dev pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can safely dereference inet6_dev even if its refcount has hit 0. However, if CPU-0 calls igmp6_event_query() and schedules delayed work, it attempts to acquire a reference using in6_dev_hold(). This increments the refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning. Since the inet6_dev memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU grace period, the device is freed while the work is still scheduled. When the work runs, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic. Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper in6_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not schedule the work.

The actual freeing of inet6_dev memory\nis deferred via RCU.\n\nConcurrently, the packet receive path runs under RCU read lock and obtains\nthe inet6_dev pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can\nsafely dereference inet6_dev even if its refcount has hit 0.\n\nHowever, if CPU-0 calls igmp6_event_query() and schedules delayed work, it\nattempts to acquire a reference using in6_dev_hold(). This increments the\nrefcount from 0 to 1, triggering a \"refcount_t: addition on 0\" warning.\nSince the inet6_dev memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU\ngrace period, the device is freed while the work is still scheduled.\nWhen the work runs, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic.\n\nFix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper\nin6_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is\nalready being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not schedule the work."
