Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-03 18:31 – Updated: 2026-04-23 21:31

Details

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.

Severity ?

5.5 (Medium)
