Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix lockdep splat in in6_dump_addrs()
As reported by syzbot, we should not use rcu_dereference()
when rcu_read_lock() is not held.
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.19.0-rc2-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:5175 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by syz-executor326/3617:
