CVE-2024-53042 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv4: ip_tunnel: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in ip_tunnel_init_flow()

There are code paths from which the function is called without holding the RCU read lock resulting in a suspicious RCU usage warning [1].

Fix by using l3mdev_master_upper_ifindex_by_index() which will acquire the RCU read lock before calling l3mdev_master_upper_ifindex_by_index_rcu().

[1] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 6.12.0-rc3-custom-gac8f72681cf2 141 Not tainted

net/core/dev.c:876 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

other info that might help us debug this:
