Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in fib6_info_uses_dev()<br />
<br />
fib6_info_uses_dev() seems to rely on RCU without an explicit<br />
protection.<br />
<br />
Like the prior fix in rt6_nlmsg_size(),<br />
we need to make sure fib6_del_route() or fib6_add_rt2node()<br />
have not removed the anchor from the list, or we risk an infinite loop.
