Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ipv6: mcast: add RCU protection to mld_newpack()<br />
<br />
mld_newpack() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.<br />
<br />
Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because<br />
ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep.<br />
<br />
Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk<br />
socket under RCU protection.
