CVE-2026-46099 is a race condition in the Linux kernel IPv6 Segment Routing (seg6) and RPL lightweight-tunnel input paths. After seg6_input_core() or rpl_input() invokes ip6_route_input(), the skb can hold a non-refcounted destination entry. The affected paths then pass that destination to dst_cache_set_ip6(), which unconditionally acquires a reference. A concurrent route-generation change and FIB lookup can invalidate and release the shared per-CPU IPv6 route before the cache operation, leaving the skb with a stale destination pointer. The subsequent reference acquisition can operate on a freed destination object, causing a warning or use-after-free.
