Title
xfrm6: clear dst.dev on error to avoid double netdev_put in xfrm6_fill_dst()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm6: clear dst.dev on error to avoid double netdev_put in xfrm6_fill_dst()
On the error path where in6_dev_get(dev) returns NULL, xfrm6_fill_dst()
releases the device reference with netdev_put() but leaves
xdst->u.dst.dev set. dst_destroy() later calls netdev_put(dst->dev)
again, so the same net_device reference is released twice, underflowing
its refcount (ref_tracker WARNING + "unregister_netdevice: waiting for
<dev> to become free").
Clear xdst->u.dst.dev after the netdev_put(), the same way the XFRM
device-offload paths xfrm_dev_state_add() and xfrm_dev_policy_add() in
net/xfrm/xfrm_device.c NULL ->dev when releasing the reference on error.
ref_tracker: reference already released.

xfrm6_fill_dst (net/ipv6/xfrm6_policy.c:86)

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
