In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nfnetlinkqueue: acquire rcureadlock() in instancedestroy_rcu()
syzbot reported that nfreinject() could be called without rcuread_lock() :
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 6.9.0-rc7-syzkaller-02060-g5c1672705a1a #0 Not tainted
net/netfilter/nfnetlinkqueue.c:263 suspicious rcudereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
