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

ipv6: Fix infinite recursion in fib6_dump_done().

syzkaller reported infinite recursive calls of fib6_dump_done() during
netlink socket destruction. [1]

From the log, syzkaller sent an AF_UNSPEC RTM_GETROUTE message, and then
the response was generated. The following recvmmsg() resumed the dump
for IPv6, but the first call of inet6_dump_fib() failed at kzalloc() due
to the fault injection. [0]

12:01:34 executing program 3:
r0 = socket\(nl_route(0x10, 0x3, 0x0) sendmsg\)nl_route(r0, … snip …)
recvmmsg(r0, … snip …) (fail_nth: 8)

Here, fib6_dump_done() was set to nlk_sk(sk)–>cb.done, and the next call
of inet6_dump_fib() set it to nlk_sk(sk)–>cb.args[3]. syzkaller stopped
receiving the response halfway through, and finally netlink_sock_destruct()
called nlk_sk(sk)–>cb.done().

fib6_dump_done() calls fib6_dump_end() and nlk_sk(sk)–>cb.done() if it
is still not NULL. fib6_dump_end() rewrites nlk_sk(sk)–>cb.done() by
nlk_sk(sk)–>cb.args[3], but it has the same function, not NULL, calling
itself recursively and hitting the stack guard page.

To avoid the issue, let’s set the destructor after kzalloc().
