NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_7_16-rt package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_7_16-rt package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in fib6_info_uses_dev()

fib6_info_uses_dev() seems to rely on RCU without an explicit protection.

Like the prior fix in rt6_nlmsg_size(), we need to make sure fib6_del_route() or fib6_add_rt2node() have not removed the anchor from the list, or we risk an infinite loop.
