Summary

CVE-2025-21763 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel. The issue lies in the 'neighbour' subsystem, specifically in the '__neigh_notify()' function. This function can be called without the required RTNL or RCU protection, leading to a use-after-free (UAF) condition. By implementing RCU protection in '__neigh_notify()', the risk of potential UAF vulnerabilities is mitigated.
