Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: use rcu-safe version of ipv6_get_lladdr()
Some time ago 8965779d2c0e ("ipv6,mcast: always hold idev->lock before mca_lock")
switched ipv6_get_lladdr() to __ipv6_get_lladdr(), which is rcu-unsafe
version. That was OK, because idev->lock was held for these codepaths.
In 88e2ca308094 ("mld: convert ifmcaddr6 to RCU") these external locks were
removed, so we probably need to restore the original rcu-safe call.
Otherwise, we occasionally get a machine crashed/stalled with the following

Using rcu-safe version of ipv6_get_lladdr() with removed external locks may lead to the loss of Availability.
Отчет
A flaw in the Linux kernel's IPv6 multicast handling can lead to a system crash due to an unsafe function call. This issue requires specific IPv6 multicast network traffic to trigger, limiting its immediate widespread impact in typical Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
