After rcu_read_unlock(), a concurrent RTM_DELLINK can\nfree the net_device; ipv6_chk_addr() then dereferences the stale pointer\nin __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags() (e.g. l3mdev_master_dev_rcu(dev)), reading\nfreed memory.\n\nKeep the RCU read-side lock held across the ipv6_chk_addr() call instead\nof dropping it right after the lookup, so the device cannot be freed\nwhile it is in use.\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags (... net/ipv6/addrconf.c:1998)\n  Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880106ec000 by task exploit/153\n  Call Trace:\n   ...\n   kasan_report (mm/kasan/report.c:595)\n   __ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags (... net/ipv6/addrconf.c:1998)\n   ipv6_chk_addr (net/ipv6/addrconf.c:2031 net/ipv6/addrconf.c:1972)\n   rds_tcp_laddr_check (net/rds/tcp.c:370)\n   rds_bind (net/rds/bind.c:248)\n   __sys_bind (net/socket.c:1920)\n   __x64_sys_bind (net/socket.c:1956)\n   do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:63)\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121)","modified":"2026-09-01T05:28:09Z","published":"2026-08-15T13:18:01Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-74563"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-74563"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-96222.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
