In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rhashtable: clear stale iter->p on table restart
rhashtable_walk_start_check() has two restart paths when resuming a walk.
When iter->walker.tbl is valid, it re-validates iter->p against the table
and sets iter->p = NULL if the object is gone. When iter->walker.tbl is
NULL (table was freed during resize), it resets slot and skip but forgets
to clear iter->p.
rhashtable_walk_next() then dereferences the stale iter->p, reading
freed memory. This is a use-after-free.
Any caller that does multi-fragment rhashtable walks across
walk_stop/walk_start boundaries is affected. Concrete cases include
netlink_diag (__netlink_diag_dump in net/netlink/diag.c) and TIPC
(tipc_nl_sk_walk in net/tipc/socket.c).
