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-&gt;ipv6.igmp_sk<br /> socket under RCU protection.
