FKIE_CVE-2026-23442
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-04-03 16:16 - Updated: 2026-10-15 02:18
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: add NULL checks for idev in SRv6 paths
__in6_dev_get() can return NULL when the device has no IPv6 configuration
(e.g. MTU < IPV6_MIN_MTU or after NETDEV_UNREGISTER).
Add NULL checks for idev returned by __in6_dev_get() in both
seg6_hmac_validate_skb() and ipv6_srh_rcv() to prevent potential NULL
pointer dereferences.
