Subject: [PATCH v1 net] ipv6: Fix use-after-free in inet6_addr_del().
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 01:05:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113010538.2019411-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)

syzbot reported use-after-free of inet6_ifaddr in
inet6_addr_del(). [0]

The cited commit accidentally moved ipv6_del_addr() for
mngtmpaddr before reading its ifp->flags for temporary
addresses in inet6_addr_del().

Let's move ipv6_del_addr() down to fix the UAF.
