Summary
CVE-2026-31680 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.134.1-2
Details

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

net: ipv6: flowlabel: defer exclusive option free until RCU teardown

ip6fl_seq_show() walks the global flowlabel hash under the seq-file RCU read-side lock and prints fl->opt->opt_nflen when an option block is present.

Exclusive flowlabels currently free fl->opt as soon as fl->users drops to zero in fl_release(). However, the surrounding struct ip6_flowlabel remains visible in the global hash table until later garbage collection removes it and fl_free_rcu() finally tears it down.

A concurrent /proc/net/ip6_flowlabel reader can therefore race that early kfree() and dereference freed option state, triggering a crash in ip6fl_seq_show().

Fix this by keeping fl->opt alive until fl_free_rcu(). That matches the lifetime already required for the enclosing flowlabel while readers can still reach it under RCU.
