- Summary
- ipv6: Fix use-after-free in inet6_addr_del().
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: Fix use-after-free in inet6addrdel().
syzbot reported use-after-free of inet6ifaddr in inet6addr_del(). [0]
The cited commit accidentally moved ipv6deladdr() for mngtmpaddr before reading its ifp->flags for temporary addresses in inet6addrdel().
Let's move ipv6deladdr() down to fix the UAF.
