{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2024-40905","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ipv6: fix possible race in __fib6_drop_pcpu_from()  syzbot found a race in __fib6_drop_pcpu_from() [1]  If compiler reads more than once (*ppcpu_rt), second read could read NULL, if another cpu clears the value in rt6_get_pcpu_route().  Add a READ_ONCE() to prevent this race.  Also add rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() because we rely on RCU protection while dereferencing pcpu_rt.
