CVE-2025-22103

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

net: fix NULL pointer dereference in l3mdev_l3_rcv

When delete l3s ipvlan:

ip link del link eth0 ipvlan1 type ipvlan mode l3s

This may cause a null pointer dereference:

Call trace:

ip_rcv_finish+0x48/0xd0

ip_rcv+0x5c/0x100

__netif_receive_skb_one_core+0x64/0xb0

__netif_receive_skb+0x20/0x80

__do_softirq+0x12c/0x354

This is because l3mdev_l3_rcv() visit dev->l3mdev_ops after

ipvlan_l3s_unregister() assign the dev->l3mdev_ops to NULL. The process

like this:

(CPU1) | (CPU2)

l3mdev_l3_rcv() |

check dev->priv_flags: |

master = skb->dev; |

|

| ipvlan_l3s_unregister()

| set dev->priv_flags

| dev->l3mdev_ops = NULL;

|

visit master->l3mdev_ops |

To avoid this by do not set dev->l3mdev_ops when unregister l3s ipvlan.
