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

    ipv4: igmp: remove multicast group from hash table on device destruction

    When a device is destroyed under RTNL, ip_mc_destroy_dev() iterates through
    the multicast list and calls ip_ma_put() on each membership, scheduling
    them for RCU reclamation. However, they are not unlinked from the device's
    multicast hash table (mc_hash).

    Since the device remains published in dev->ip_ptr until after
    ip_mc_destroy_dev() completes, concurrent RCU readers traversing mc_hash
    can still locate and access the multicast group after its refcount is
    decremented. If the RCU callback runs and frees the group while a reader is
    accessing it, a use-after-free occurs.

    Fix this by unlinking the multicast group from mc_hash using
    ip_mc_hash_remove() before scheduling it for reclamation.
