CVE-2026-68323

/// Technical description

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

tipc: serialize udp bearer replicast list updates

tipc_udp_rcast_add() and cleanup_bearer() both update ub->rcast.list with

list_add_rcu() / list_del_rcu(), but nothing serializes them. The add runs

from the encap receive softirq (via tipc_udp_rcast_disc()) without

rtnl_lock(), so it can race the cleanup delete and corrupt the list:

list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff8880298d7ab8,

but was ffff88802449ad38. (prev=ffff888027e3ec98)

kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:62!

RIP: __list_del_entry_valid_or_report+0x17a/0x200

Workqueue: events cleanup_bearer

Call Trace:

cleanup_bearer (net/tipc/udp_media.c:811)

process_one_work (kernel/workqueue.c:3302)

worker_thread (kernel/workqueue.c:3466)

The bearer can be enabled from an unprivileged user namespace, as the

TIPCv2 generic-netlink ops carry no GENL_ADMIN_PERM.

Add a spinlock to struct udp_bearer and take it around the list_add_rcu()

in tipc
