Disclosure Date: May 30, 2024
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

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

ipv6: fib6_rules: avoid possible NULL dereference in fib6_rule_action()

syzbot is able to trigger the following crash [1],
caused by unsafe ip6_dst_idev() use.

Indeed ip6_dst_idev() can return NULL, and must always be checked.
