Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-11-19 18:31 – Updated: 2026-05-12 15:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: ip_tunnel: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in ip_tunnel_init_flow()
There are code paths from which the function is called without holding the RCU read lock, resulting in a suspicious RCU usage warning [1].
Fix by using l3mdev_master_upper_ifindex_by_index() which will acquire the RCU read lock before calling l3mdev_master_upper_ifindex_by_index_rcu().
[1] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 6.12.0-rc3-custom-gac8f72681cf2 #141 Not tainted
net/core/dev.c:876 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
