In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: prevent UAF in ip6sendskb()
syzbot reported an UAF in ip6sendskb() [1]
After ip6localout() has returned, we no longer can safely dereference rt, unless we hold rcureadlock().
A similar issue has been fixed in commit a688caa34beb ("ipv6: take rcu lock in rawv6sendhdrinc()")
Another potential issue in ip6finishoutput2() is handled in a separate patch.
