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

ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in fib6 select path()

Found while auditing the same pattern Sashiko reported in rt6 fill node() [1]. Apply the same fix as commit f8d8ce1b515a ("ipv6: fix possible infinite loop in fib6 info uses dev()").

Writers holding tb6 lock can list del rcu(&first->fib6 siblings) without waiting for RCU readers; first->fib6 siblings.next then still points into the old ring and this softirq-side walker never reaches &first->fib6 siblings as its terminator. fib6 purge rt() always WRITE ONCE()s first->fib6 nsiblings to 0 before list del rcu(), so an inside-loop check is a reliable detach signal.
