How to fix?

Upgrade Minimos:latest linux-virt-doc to version 6.12.17-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-virt-doc package and not the linux-virt-doc package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ndisc: extend RCU protection in ndisc_send_skb()

ndisc_send_skb() can be called without RTNL or RCU held.

Acquire rcu_read_lock() earlier, so that we can use dev_net_rcu() and avoid a potential UAF.
