This is a use-after-free read of `dev->hard_header_len`/`needed_headroom` via `LL_RESERVED_SPACE()`, of `idev->stats.ipv6`, and of `out->name`/`out->ifindex` inside the `NF_HOOK(NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT)` traversal; once the freed slab object is reallocated the attacker can steer header-expansion sizing and the recorded egress device, yielding kernel memory disclosure and misdirected packet leakage.\nI:H - `IP6_INC_STATS(net, idev, ...)` expands to `SNMP_INC_STATS64(idev->stats.ipv6, field)`, performing a 64-bit increment through a per-CPU pointer loaded from freed memory \u2014 a write primitive after reallocation \u2014 and the stale `dev` propagates into `skb->dev` and the netfilter hook state, giving control over structures used for further dispatch.\nA:H - Dereferencing a freed `inet6_dev`/`net_device` on the IPv6 transmit path reliably produces a KASAN slab-use-after-free splat, oops, or panic, and because the fault is in the core TCP/SCTP egress path it takes down the entire host."}]}], "affected": [{"repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "versions": [{"status": "affected", "version": "4a6ce2b6f2ecabbddcfe47e7cf61dd0f00b10e36", "lessThan": "7a228cfbb66cca49e9baf901c506364f8dfe036b", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "4a6ce2b6f2ecabbddcfe47e7cf61dd0f00b10e36", "lessThan": "f0a54d00d2f36de40266f47c27989853e8588656", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "4a6ce2b6f2ecabbddcfe47e7cf61dd0f00b10e36", "lessThan": "f69fec6287565fdeb61f65e700a1184352306943", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "4a6ce2b6f2ecabbddcfe47e7cf61dd0f00b10e36", "lessThan": "bd0905e2122e3680968cd0741966983490bf2ed3", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "4a6ce2b6f2ecabbddcfe47e7cf61dd0f00b10e36", "lessThan": "f7f9e924f23684b4b23cd9f976cceab24a968e34", "versionType": "git"}, {"status": "affected", "version": "4a6ce2b6f2ecabbddcfe47e7cf61dd0f00b10e36", "lessThan": "9085e56501d93af9f2d7bd16f7fcfacdde47b99c", "versionType": "git"}], "programFiles": ["net/ipv6/ip6_output.c"], "defaultStatus": "unaffected"}, {"repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "versions": [{"status": "affected", "version": "4.13"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "0", "lessThan": "4.13", "versionType": "semver"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "5.15.224", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.1.167", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.6.130", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.12.78", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.17.3", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.17.*"}, {"status": "unaffected", "version": "6.18", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*"}], "programFiles": ["net/ipv6/ip6_output.c"], "defaultStatus": "affected"}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a228cfbb66cca49e9baf901c506364f8dfe036b"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f0a54d00d2f36de40266f47c27989853e8588656"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f69fec6287565fdeb61f65e700a1184352306943"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bd0905e2122e3680968cd0741966983490bf2ed3"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f7f9e924f23684b4b23cd9f976cceab24a968e34"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9085e56501d93af9f2d7bd16f7fcfacdde47b99c"}], "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}, "descriptions": [{"lang": "en", "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nipv6: use RCU in ip6_xmit()\n\nUse RCU in ip6_xmit() in order to use dst_dev_rcu() to prevent\npossible UAF."}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.224", "versionStartIncluding": "4.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.167", "versionStartIncluding": "4.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.130", "versionStartIncluding": "4.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.78", "versionStartIncluding": "4.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "6.17.3", "versionStartIncluding": "4.13"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "versionEndExcluding": "6.18", "versionStartIncluding": "4.13"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "shortName": "Linux", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-30T12:22:50.364Z"}}}, "cveMetadata": {"cveId": "CVE-2025-40135", "state": "PUBLISHED", "dateUpdated": "2026-11-10T12:37:39.465Z", "dateReserved": "2025-04-16T07:20:57.170Z", "assignerOrgId": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "datePublished": "2025-11-12T10:23:23.051Z", "assignerShortName": "Linux"}, "dataVersion": "5.2"}
