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

rhashtable: clear stale iter->p on table restart

rhashtable_walk_start_check() has two restart paths when resuming a walk. When iter->walker.tbl is valid, it re-validates iter->p against the table and sets iter->p = NULL if the object is gone. When iter->walker.tbl is NULL (table was freed during resize), it resets slot and skip but forgets to clear iter->p.

rhashtable_walk_next() then dereferences the stale iter->p, reading freed memory. This is a use-after-free.

Any caller that does multi-fragment rhashtable walks across walk_stop/walk_start boundaries is affected. Concrete cases include netlink_diag (__netlink_diag_dump in net/netlink/diag.c) and TIPC (tipc_nl_sk_walk in net/tipc/socket.c).
