CVE-2024-44986 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 kernel-doc.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-doc package and not the kernel-doc package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: fix possible UAF in ip6_finish_output2()
If skb_expand_head() returns NULL, skb has been freed and associated dst/idev could also have been freed.
We need to hold rcu_read_lock() to make sure the dst and associated idev are alive.
