NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-modules-partner package and not the kernel-64k-modules-partner package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the networking subsystem of the Linux kernel within the handling of the RPL protocol. This issue results from the lack of proper handling of user-supplied data, which can lead to an assertion failure. This may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to create a denial of service condition on the system.
