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

ipv6: mcast: use rcu-safe version of ipv6_get_lladdr()

Some time ago 8965779d2c0e (“ipv6,mcast: always hold idev->lock before mca_lock”)
switched ipv6_get_lladdr() to __ipv6_get_lladdr(), which is rcu-unsafe
version. That was OK, because idev->lock was held for these codepaths.

In 88e2ca308094 (“mld: convert ifmcaddr6 to RCU”) these external locks were
removed, so we probably need to restore the original rcu-safe call.

Otherwise, we occasionally get a machine crashed/stalled with the following
in dmesg:
