Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rds: tcp: hold the RCU lock across ipv6_chk_addr() in rds_tcp_laddr_check() rds_tcp_laddr_check() looks up a scoped IPv6 interface with dev_get_by_index_rcu(), drops the RCU read-side lock, and only then passes the bare struct net_device * into ipv6_chk_addr(). dev_get_by_index_rcu() only keeps the device alive within the same RCU read-side section. After rcu_read_unlock(), a concurrent RTM_DELLINK can free the net_device; ipv6_chk_addr() then dereferences the stale pointer in __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags() (e.g. l3mdev_master_dev_rcu(dev)), reading freed memory. Keep the RCU read-side lock held across the ipv6_chk_addr() call instead of dropping it right after the lookup, so the device cannot be freed while it is in use.
