CVE-2026-74581Corrupción de memoria en el stack IPv6 del kernel Linux

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.

Análisis

A critical vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel IPv6 routing stack. A stale pointer in the routing rule suppression logic can lead to a use-after-free condition, potentially allowing for system crashes or arbitrary code execution via network-triggered routing lookups.
