Upstream advisory: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2024111924-CVE-2024-50304-da6d@gregkh/T This issue has been addressed in the following products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Via RHSA-2025:6966 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:6966 |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv4: ip_tunnel: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in ip_tunnel_find() The per-netns IP tunnel hash table is protected by the RTNL mutex and ip_tunnel_find() is only called from the control path where the mutex is taken. Add a lockdep expression to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() in ip_tunnel_find() in order to validate that the mutex is held and to silence the suspicious RCU usage warning [1].
