In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: avoid divide by zero in rt6_multipath_rebalance
rt6_multipath_rebalance() calculates the total eligible nexthop weight
in one pass and programs upper bounds in a second pass. Since
RTM_NEWROUTE is RTNL-free, a concurrent
ignore_routes_with_linkdown update can make the first pass return zero
while the second sees an eligible nexthop, causing
rt6_upper_bound_set() to divide by zero.
UBSAN: division-overflow in net/ipv6/route.c:4845:17
Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
rt6_upper_bound_set() net/ipv6/route.c:4845
rt6_multipath_rebalance()
fib6_add_rt2node()
ip6_route_multipath_add()
inet6_rtm_newroute()
Skip upper-bound calculation when the first pass reports a zero total.
This respects the lock-free performance considerations here and solves
insecure scenarios.
