CVE-2026-45917

Vulnerability Description

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

ipvs: do not keep dest_dst if dev is going down

There is race between the netdev notifier ip_vs_dst_event()
and the code that caches dst with dev that is going down.
As the FIB can be notified for the closed device after our
handler finishes, it is possible valid route to be returned
and cached resuling in a leaked dev reference until the dest
is not removed.

To prevent new dest_dst to be attached to dest just after the
handler dropped the old one, add a netif_running() check
to make sure the notifier handler is not currently running
for device that is closing.
