CVE-2026-74581 is a use-after-free vulnerability in Linux kernel IPv6 policy-routing logic. fib6_rule_suppress() releases a suppressed route through ip6_rt_put_flags() but leaves res->rt6 pointing to the released rt6_info. If no subsequent routing rule supplies a replacement, fib6_rule_lookup() returns the stale destination to rt6_lookup(). A subsequent destination release reaches rcuref_put_slowpath() through dst_release(), potentially causing kernel instability or denial of service.
