FKIE_CVE-2026-31680

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-04-25 09:16 - Updated: 2026-07-14 13:18
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ipv6: flowlabel: defer exclusive option free until RCU teardown `ip6fl_seq_show()` walks the global flowlabel hash under the seq-file RCU read-side lock and prints `fl->opt->opt_nflen` when an option block is present. Exclusive flowlabels currently free `fl->opt` as soon as `fl->users` drops to zero in `fl_release()`. However, the surrounding `struct ip6_flowlabel` remains visible in the global hash table until later garbage collection removes it and `fl_free_rcu()` finally tears it down. A concurrent `/proc/net/ip6_flowlabel` reader can therefore race that early `kfree()` and dereference freed option state, triggering a crash in `ip6fl_seq_show()`. Fix this by keeping `fl->opt` alive until `fl_free_rcu()`. That matches the lifetime already required for the enclosing flowlabel while readers can still reach it under RCU.

However, the surrounding\n`struct ip6_flowlabel` remains visible in the global hash table until\nlater garbage collection removes it and `fl_free_rcu()` finally tears it\ndown.\n\nA concurrent `/proc/net/ip6_flowlabel` reader can therefore race that\nearly `kfree()` and dereference freed option state, triggering a crash\nin `ip6fl_seq_show()`.\n\nFix this by keeping `fl-\u003eopt` alive until `fl_free_rcu()`. That matches\nthe lifetime already required for the enclosing flowlabel while readers\ncan still reach it under RCU."

Related by attack behaviour

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
