    ipv6: use RCU in ip6_xmit()

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: use RCU in ip6_xmit() Use RCU in ip6_xmit() in order to use dst_dev_rcu() to prevent possible UAF.

  • High 8.1

    ipv6: use RCU in ip6_output()

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: use RCU in ip6_output() Use RCU in ip6_output() in order to use dst_dev_rcu() to prevent possible UAF. We can remove rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs from ip6_finish_output2().
