Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: fix possible UAF in icmpv6_rcv() Caching saddr and daddr before pskb_pull() is problematic since skb->head can change. Remove these temporary variables: - We only access &ipv6_hdr(skb)->saddr and &ipv6_hdr(skb)->daddr when net_dbg_ratelimited() is called in the slow path. - Avoid potential future misuse after pskb_pull() call.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.4 < 5.10.258) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.209) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.175) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.141) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.91) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.33) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 7.0.10) • redhat enterprise linux 8.0 • redhat enterprise linux 9.0 • redhat enterprise linux 10.0
