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

net: ipv4: fix route with nexthop object delete warning

FRR folks have hit a kernel warning[1] while deleting routes[2] which is
caused by trying to delete a route pointing to a nexthop id without
specifying nhid but matching on an interface. That is, a route is found
but we hit a warning while matching it. The warning is from
fib_info_nh() in include/net/nexthop.h because we run it on a fib_info
with nexthop object. The call chain is:
 inet_rtm_delroute -> fib_table_delete -> fib_nh_match (called with a
nexthop fib_info and also with fc_oif set thus calling fib_info_nh on
the fib_info and triggering the warning). The fix is to not do any
matching in that branch if the fi has a nexthop object because those are
managed separately. I.e. we should match when deleting without nh spec and
should fail when deleting a nexthop route with old-style nh spec because
nexthop objects are managed separately, e.g.:
 $ ip r show 1.2.3.4/32
 1.2.3.4 nhid 12 via 192.168.11.2 dev dummy0

 $ ip r del 1.2.3.4/32
 $ ip r del 1.2.3.4/32 nhid 12
 <both should work>

 $ ip r del 1.2.3.4/32 dev dummy0
 <should fail with ESRCH>
