GHSA-259Q-92W6-WRGJ
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-11-19 18:31 – Updated: 2025-11-03 21:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: ip_tunnel: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in ip_tunnel_find()
The per-netns IP tunnel hash table is protected by the RTNL mutex and ip_tunnel_find() is only called from the control path where the mutex is taken.
Add a lockdep expression to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() in ip_tunnel_find() in order to validate that the mutex is held and to silence the suspicious RCU usage warning [1].
[1] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 6.12.0-rc3-custom-gd95d9a31aceb #139 Not tainted
net/ipv4/ip_tunnel.c:221 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
