CVE-2026-74562

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

nexthop: take nh->lock for f6i_list walks in replace check and notify

fib6_check_nh_list() and __nexthop_replace_notify() walk nh->f6i_list
during an RTNL-serialized nexthop replace without holding nh->lock. IPv6
RTM_NEWROUTE/RTM_DELROUTE run without RTNL and mutate that list under
nh->lock (fib6_add_rt2node_nh(), fib6_purge_rt()), so both walks race a
concurrent route delete that unlinks and frees a fib6_info:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in rt6_fill_node.isra.0 (net/ipv6/route.c:5799)

Both walks only read the entries and take no tb6_lock, so protect them
with nh->lock; fib6_rt_update() uses gfp_any(), which returns GFP_ATOMIC
under the lock.
