CVE-2025-21759

Vulnerability Description

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

ipv6: mcast: extend RCU protection in igmp6_send()

igmp6_send() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.

Extend RCU protection so that we can safely fetch the net pointer
and avoid a potential UAF.

Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because
ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep.

Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk
socket under RCU protection.
