In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/ipv6: avoid possible UAF in ip6routempath_notify()
syzbot found another use-after-free in ip6routempath_notify() [1]
Commit f7225172f25a ("net/ipv6: prevent use after free in ip6routempath_notify") was not able to fix the root cause.
We need to defer the fib6inforelease() calls after ip6routempath_notify(), in the cleanup phase.
