kernel: net: use dst_dev_rcu() in sk_setup_caps()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: use dstdevrcu in sksetupcaps Use RCU to protect accesses to dst-dev from sksetupcaps and skdstgsomaxsize. Also use dstdevrcu in ip6dstmtumaybeforward, and ipdstmtumaybeforward. ip4dsthoplimit can use dstdevnetrcu...

CVE-2025-40170

CVE-2025-40170 affects the Linux kernel. The fix modernizes RCU-protected access to dst->dev and related destinations in several paths: net: use dst_dev_rcu() in sk_setup_caps(); ip6_dst_mtu_maybe_forward() and ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward(); and ip4_dst_hoplimit() now uses dst_dev_net_rcu(). The ...
