Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: use RCU iterator to dump route exceptions
rt6_nh_dump_exceptions() uses hlist_for_each_entry() to iterate over
RCU-protected exception lists. The caller holds rcu_read_lock(), but does
not hold rt6_exception_lock, so rt6_insert_exception() can concurrently
add an entry with hlist_add_head_rcu().
KCSAN reports this race (irrelevant details omitted):
==================================================================
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rt6_insert_exception / rt6_nh_dump_exceptions

value changed: 0xffff8a7c44e05700 -> 0xffff8a7c45d60100
Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:

...
Use hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() to safely iterate over the exception list.
