[none]
Details

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

ipv6: mcast: add RCU protection to mld_newpack()

mld_newpack() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.

Note that we no longer can use sockallocsendskb() because ipv6.igmpsk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep.

Instead use allocskb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmpsk socket under RCU protection.
