CVE-2026-64572CVE-2026-64572
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: fib: free fib_alias with kfree_rcu() on insert error path
fib_table_insert() publishes new_fa into the leaf's fa_list with
fib_insert_alias() before calling the fib entry notifiers. When a
notifier fails, the error path removes new_fa with fib_remove_alias()
(hlist_del_rcu) and frees it right away with kmem_cache_free().
fib_table_lookup() walks that list under rcu_read_lock() only, so a
concurrent lookup that already reached new_fa keeps reading it after the
free:
