CVE-2025-21759

  1. OpenCVE
  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2025-21759
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: mcast: extend RCU protection in igmp6_send() igmp6_send() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held. Extend RCU protection so that we can safely fetch the net pointer and avoid a potential UAF. Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep. Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk socket under RCU protection.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ipv6: mcast: extender la protección RCU en igmp6_send() igmp6_send() se puede llamar sin que se mantenga RTNL o RCU. Extienda la protección RCU para que podamos obtener de forma segura el puntero de red y evitar un posible UAF. Tenga en cuenta que ya no podemos usar sock_alloc_send_skb() porque ipv6.igmp_sk usa asignaciones GFP_KERNEL que pueden dormir. En su lugar, use alloc_skb() y cargue el socket net->ipv6.igmp_sk bajo la protección RCU.
