When a socket ignores the path MTU, ip_skb_dst_mtu() reads the device
MTU without RCU protection. The multicast and broadcast output path
through ip_mc_output() can reach this helper without an RCU read lock.
Netfilter releases its internal read lock before calling
ip_finish_output().
A sender can load dst->dev and then be preempted before reading dev->mtu.
Concurrent device unregistration replaces dst->dev with blackhole_netdev
and drops the old device reference. After the grace period and remaining
references drain, the device can be freed before the sender resumes and
reads its MTU, causing a use-after-free.

Protect the device lookup and MTU read with RCU and use dst_dev_rcu() to
access the device pointer. Keep the MTU limit and headroom calculation
unchanged.
