Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-28 12:02:56 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv4: start using dst_dev_rcu()

Change icmpv4_xrlim_allow(), ip_defrag() to prevent possible UAF.

Change ipmr_prepare_xmit(), ipmr_queue_fwd_xmit(), ip_mr_output(),
ipv4_neigh_lookup() to use lockdep enabled dst_dev_rcu().
