CVE-2026-63969
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in rt6_fill_node()
Sashiko reported this issue [1]. Apply the same fix as
commit f8d8ce1b515a ("ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in fib6_info_uses_dev()").
Writers holding tb6_lock can list_del_rcu(&rt->fib6_siblings)
without waiting for RCU readers; rt->fib6_siblings.next then still
points into the old ring and this softirq-side walker never reaches
&rt->fib6_siblings, causing a CPU stall. fib6_del_route() always
WRITE_ONCE()s rt->fib6_nsiblings to 0 before list_del_rcu(), so an
inside-loop check is a reliable detach signal.
