Resolved Date: Jun 19, 2025
Found In Version: 10.25.33.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 25
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:EOL][EOL]net: fix potential refcount leak in ndisc_router_discovery()[EOL][EOL]The issue happens on specific paths in the function. After both the[EOL]object `rt` and `neigh` are grabbed successfully, when `lifetime` is[EOL]nonzero but the metric needs change, the function just deletes the[EOL]route and set `rt` to NULL. Then, it may try grabbing `rt` and `neigh`[EOL]again if above conditions hold. The function simply overwrite `neigh`[EOL]if succeeds or returns if fails, without decreasing the reference[EOL]count of previous `neigh`. This may result in memory leaks.[EOL][EOL]Fix it by decrementing the reference count of `neigh` in place.
