In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: use a stable FDB dst snapshot in RCU readers
Local FDB entries can be rewritten in place by fdb_delete_local(), which
updates f->dst to another port or to NULL while keeping the entry
alive. Several bridge RCU readers inspect f->dst, including
br_fdb_fillbuf() through the brforward_read() sysfs path.
These readers currently load f->dst multiple times and can therefore
observe inconsistent values across the check and later dereference.
In br_fdb_fillbuf(), this means a concurrent local-FDB update can change
f->dst after the NULL check and before the port_no dereference,
leading to a NULL-ptr-deref.
Fix this by taking a single READ_ONCE() snapshot of f->dst in each
affected RCU reader and using that snapshot for the rest of the access
sequence. Also publish the in-place f->dst updates in fdb_delete_local()
with WRITE_ONCE() so the readers and writer use matching access patterns.
