Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: fix another slab-out-of-bounds in fib6_nh_flush_exceptions

While running the self-tests on a KASAN enabled kernel, I observed a
slab-out-of-bounds splat very similar to the one reported in
commit 821bbf79fe46 ("ipv6: Fix KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in
fib6_nh_flush_exceptions").

We additionally need to take care of fib6_metrics initialization
failure when the caller provides an nh.

The fix is similar, explicitly free the route instead of calling
fib6_info_release on a half-initialized object.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ipv6: corrige otra slab fuera de los límites en fib6_nh_flush_exceptions. Mientras ejecutaba las autopruebas en un kernel habilitado para KASAN, observé una slab fuera de los límites muy similar al informado en la confirmación 821bbf79fe46 ("ipv6: Fix KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in fib6_nh_flush_exceptions"). Además, debemos ocuparnos del error de inicialización de fib6_metrics cuando la persona que llama proporciona un nh. La solución es similar: libera explícitamente la ruta en lugar de llamar a fib6_info_release en un objeto medio inicializado.
