However, the\nsynchronize_net() grace period in the caller remove_nexthop_from_groups()\nruns after the free. RCU readers that entered before the publish still\nsee the old group and can dereference the freed stats via\nnh_grp_entry_stats_inc() -> get_cpu_ptr(nhge->stats), causing a\nuse-after-free on percpu memory.\n\nFix by deferring the free_percpu() until after synchronize_net() in the\ncaller. Removed entries are chained via nh_list onto a local deferred\nfree list. After the grace period completes and all RCU readers have\nfinished, the percpu stats are safely freed."}], "lastModified": "2026-06-17T10:49:28.727", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "D1D90B78-24E3-418D-A238-3FE23C32239B", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.78", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "D394AC60-6F28-435F-872A-CCDF384B8331", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.19", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "E825E7C3-FEAC-4FD3-8A81-78D7387948C9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.9", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:6.9:-:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "3F2A4A3D-068A-4CF2-A09F-9C7937DDB0A5"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "F253B622-8837-4245-BCE5-A7BF8FC76A16"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "4AE85AD8-4641-4E7C-A2F4-305E2CD9EE64"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "F666C8D8-6538-46D4-B318-87610DE64C34"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
