NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf-debuginfo package and not the perf-debuginfo package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

macvlan: fix possible UAF in macvlan_forward_source()

Add RCU protection on (struct macvlan_source_entry)->vlan.

Whenever macvlan_hash_del_source() is called, we must clear entry->vlan pointer before RCU grace period starts.

This allows macvlan_forward_source() to skip over entries queued for freeing.

Note that macvlan_dev are already RCU protected, as they are embedded in a standard netdev (netdev_priv(ndev)).
