Description

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.
