      <title>CVE-2024-26631 — ipv6: mcast: fix data-race in ipv6_mc_down / mld_ifc_work</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-26631</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ipv6: mcast: fix data-race in ipv6_mc_down / mld_ifc_work&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;idev-&amp;gt;mc_ifc_count can be written over without proper locking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Originally found by syzbot [1], fix this issue by encapsulating calls
to mld_ifc_stop_work() (and mld_gq_stop_work() for good measure) with
mutex_lock() and mutex_unlock() accordingly as these functions
should only be called with mc_lock per their declarations.&lt;/p&gt;
