In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: mdb: restart port group walk after deletion
br_mdb_flush_pgs() keeps a pointer-to-pointer cursor while walking mp->ports. br_multicast_del_pg() can re-enter the same MDB entry through br_multicast_sg_del_exclude_ports() and unlink other port groups. If the cursor points into one of those groups, the next iteration dereferences a stale cursor and can leave mp->ports pointing at freed memory.
A following RTM_GETMDB exposes the dangling pointer:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in br_mdb_dump Read of size 8 br_mdb_dump rtnl_mdb_dump rtnl_dumpit netlink_dump
Reset the cursor to mp->ports after every deletion. The deletion removes at least the selected group, so the restarted walk always makes progress.
