CVE-2026-23293 MEDIUM

Published: 2026-03-25 | Last Modified: 2026-07-14 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: vxlan: fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called which initializes it. If an IPv6 packet is injected into the interface, route_shortcircuit() is called and a NULL pointer dereference happens on neigh_lookup(). BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000380 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [...] RIP: 0010:neigh_lookup+0x20/0x270 [...] Call Trace: <TASK> vxlan_xmit+0x638/0x1ef0 [vxlan] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x9e/0x2e0 __dev_queue_xmit+0xbee/0x14e0 packet_sendmsg+0x116f/0x1930 __sys_sendto+0x1f5/0x200 __x64_sys_sendto+0x24/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x12f/0x1590 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Fix this by adding an early check on route_shortcircuit() when protocol is ETH_P_IPV6. Note that ipv6_mod_enabled() cannot be used here because VXLAN can be built-in even when IPv6 is built as a module.

Additional Descriptions (1)

En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: net: vxlan: corrige la desreferencia de puntero NULL de nd_tbl cuando IPv6 está deshabilitado Al arrancar con el parámetro 'ipv6.disable=1', nd_tbl nunca se inicializa porque inet6_init() sale antes de que se llame a ndisc_init(), que es la función que lo inicializa. Si se inyecta un paquete IPv6 en la interfaz, se llama a route_shortcircuit() y ocurre una desreferencia de puntero NULL en neigh_lookup(). BUG: desreferencia de puntero NULL del kernel, dirección: 0000000000000380 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [...] RIP: 0010:neigh_lookup+0x20/0x270 [...] Traza de Llamadas: vxlan_xmit+0x638/0x1ef0 [vxlan] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x9e/0x2e0 __dev_queue_xmit+0xbee/0x14e0 packet_sendmsg+0x116f/0x1930 __sys_sendto+0x1f5/0x200 __x64_sys_sendto+0x24/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x12f/0x1590 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Esto se corrige añadiendo una verificación temprana en route_shortcircuit() cuando el protocolo es ETH_P_IPV6. Tenga en cuenta que ipv6_mod_enabled() no se puede usar aquí porque VXLAN puede estar integrado incluso cuando IPv6 se compila como un módulo.
