CVE-2025-21719 high CVSS 7.1

Out-of-Bounds Read in Linux kernel (CVE-2025-21719)

Summary

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2025-21719). Confidential information can be exposed externally.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

ipmr: do not call mr_mfc_uses_dev() for unres entries

syzbot found that calling mr_mfc_uses_dev() for unres entries
would crash [1], because c->mfc_un.res.minvif / c->mfc_un.res.maxvif
alias to "struct sk_buff_head unresolved", which contain two pointers.

This code never worked, lets remove it.
