[PATCH] net: ipv4: fix TOCTOU race in __ip_do_redirect

[Lei Huang <huanglei814@163.com>]

From: Lei Huang <huanglei@kylinos.cn>

fib_lookup() internally acquires and releases rcu_read_lock and always uses
FIB_LOOKUP_NOREF (no refcount on fib_info). After it returns, res (a local
struct fib_result on the stack) has its nhc field pointing into the
fib_info internal nexthop array, but RCU protection is already dropped.
A concurrent route deletion can free the fib_info via kfree_rcu, making
res.nhc a stale pointer. Subsequent FIB_RES_NHC(res) reads this stale value
and update_or_create_fnhe() dereferences it, causing UAF.

Fix by wrap the entire fib_lookup + FIB_RES_NHC + update_or_create_fnhe
region in an explicit rcu_read_lock/unlock to keep the fib_info alive
throughout the critical section.
