Upgrade AlmaLinux:9 kernel-devel to version 0:5.14.0-427.28.1.el9_4 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALSA-2024:4928.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-devel package and not the kernel-devel package as distributed by AlmaLinux.
See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
icmp: prevent possible NULL dereferences from icmp_build_probe()
First problem is a double call to __in_dev_get_rcu(), because the second one could return NULL.
if (__in_dev_get_rcu(dev) && __in_dev_get_rcu(dev)->ifa_list)
Second problem is a read from dev->ip6_ptr with no NULL check:
if (!list_empty(&rcu_dereference(dev->ip6_ptr)->addr_list))
Use the correct RCU API to fix these.
v2: add missing include <net/addrconf.h>
