UBUNTU-CVE-2026-98122: Use After Free

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vxlan: mdb: Fix use-after-free in vxlanmdbremotesrcdel() vxlanmdbisvalidsource(), which validates MDBEATTRSOURCE and every MDBEATTRSRCLIST member, accepts the all-zeros address. A source list is only accepted on a (, G) entry, whose source is the all-zeros address, and for each member of the list an (S, G) entry is derived from it by substituting the source. Entries are keyed by a plain memcmp() of struct vxlanmdbentrykey, so if MDBEATTRSOURCE is present and holds the all-zeros address and the source list holds it as well, the derived (S, G) key is byte-identical to the (, G) key and resolves to the same entry. Omitting MDBEATTRSOURCE is not equivalent, as the key is then left with a zero address family. vxlanmdbremotesrcdel() removes the forwarding entry of a source before freeing the source entry: vxlanmdbremotesrcfwddel(vxlan, group, remote, &ent->addr); vxlanmdbremotesrcentrydel(ent); With the keys aliased, the first call deletes the remote of the entry that owns 'ent' instead of a separate (S, G) entry, and frees 'ent'. The second call then runs on the freed entry, and its hlistdel() reads ->pprev and ->next out of it and writes through them. Adding the (, G) entry with NLMFREPLACE and no source list marks the all-zeros source for deletion and reaches this from the sweep at the end of vxlanmdbremotesrcsreplace().

Reject the all-zeros address in vxlanmdbisvalidsource(), which covers both call sites. A (, G) entry is expressed by omitting the source, so nothing legitimate is refused.
