Use-after-free bug in the IPV6_MSFILTER socket option handler

CVE-2026-49412

Description

The kernel handler for IPV6_MSFILTER dropped a serializing lock in order to copy the source-filter list from userspace, then reacquired the lock. During this window another thread could free the multicast filter structure, leaving the handler with a stale pointer to freed memory.

An unprivileged local user can exploit this use-after-free to escalate privileges.
