FKIE_CVE-2026-74581
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-21 17:16 - Updated: 2026-08-25 06:18
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ipv6: clear suppressed fib6 rule result
fib6_rule_suppress() drops a suppressed route with ip6_rt_put_flags(),
but leaves res->rt6 pointing at the released rt6_info.
If no later rule supplies a replacement, fib6_rule_lookup() still sees
res.rt6 and returns that stale dst to its caller. A suppressing rule can
therefore leak a released route back to rt6_lookup(), and the next put
hits rcuref_put_slowpath() from dst_release().
Clear res->rt6 when suppressing the route so suppressed lookups fall
through to the null dst instead of reusing the released one.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
