FKIE_CVE-2026-23124
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-14 15:16 - Updated: 2026-10-19 19:17
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: annotate data-race in ndisc_router_discovery()
syzbot found that ndisc_router_discovery() could read and write
in6_dev->ra_mtu without holding a lock [1]
This looks fine, IFLA_INET6_RA_MTU is best effort.
Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to document the race.
Note that we might also reject illegal MTU values
(mtu < IPV6_MIN_MTU || mtu > skb->dev->mtu) in a future patch.
[1]
