SUSE: CVE-2024-36286: SUSE Linux Security Advisory

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

netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: acquire rcu_read_lock() in instance_destroy_rcu()

syzbot reported that nf_reinject() could be called without rcu_read_lock() :

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
6.9.0-rc7-syzkaller-02060-g5c1672705a1a #0 Not tainted

net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c:263 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
2 locks held by syz-executor.4/13427:
