CVE-2025-38324

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

mpls: Use rcu_dereference_rtnl() in mpls_route_input_rcu().

As syzbot reported [0], mpls_route_input_rcu() can be called from mpls_getroute(), where is under RTNL.

net->mpls.platform_label is only updated under RTNL.

Lets use rcu_dereference_rtnl() in mpls_route_input_rcu() to silence the splat.

[0]: WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 6.15.0-rc7-syzkaller-00082-g5cdb2c77c4c3 #0 Not tainted

net/mpls/af_mpls.c:84 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:
